flaws in paint?

[thompithak3182]

I just washed my car and I dried it. After that I run my hands on the doors and it is smooth and then I run it on the roof of the car and it does not feel smooth as the doors do. Does anyone else here have this problem? I dont know if it is a flaw in the paint maybe when they put the clear coat on it it had some dust specks or not.

A wax such as from Meguire's Cleaner Wax will probably fix that problem. Using a clay bar is optional (Meguire's sells a Smooth Surface Clay Kit). Do not use a polish or polishing compound.

If that doesn't fix it, take it to the dealer (I am assuming your car is fairly new).

yeah. just bought it a few months ago. so im guessing it is just road grime from driving then.... im glad its not a paint flaw from the factory... or i hope not. well, i will give that cleaner wax a try next time i wash the car. its a 2013 genesis base model. i just talked to a friend and he said that could be a possiblity that its just road grime that got suck to the clear coat.

likely road grime and tree sap blown by wind.

yeah, im hoping thats what it is. i researched a little on how they do their paint and they do a electro coating on their cars... pretty nice tech and expensive to do... im thinking its not a paint flaw now that i talked to more people about it. thanks for the input. im just worried. i just bought the car and a new hyundai owner. didnt wanna discredit their quality
