Hard to tell from the pictures.
Can you say more about this? The car was washed, clayed, washed and dried with Water Blade before polishing. This vehicle was last "Zainoed" about a year ago.

The paint does have a slight "orange peel" like appearance but it appears to be mostly under the clear coat. I can see some actual small (pencil-lead sized) shallow dimples on the surface if I look closely enough while sighting along the surface (maybe pitting from acid rain?). I guess I could polish more to get rid of them, but I'm concerned about running out of clearcoat.

This car is over 7 years old and spends most of its life outdoors.
