Default Tiny specks in paint or clear coat.

Just finish removing swirls and light scraches with pc.Used menzerna IP followed by thier final polish.Car came out great.I notice in the clear coat or on paint tiny specks or are these little bubbles very hard to see have to be at right angle and light.Is this oxidation and can they be remove with a more aggressive system? Thanks

Is it mostly on the front of the car? Probably road rash.

sounds like etching on the clearcoat due to acid rain, or contaminents from water spots sitting to long. Usually wet-sanding is the choice if it was not removed during polishing.
