Wow, i've never heard of that, until now. Seems like it is exactly that. RW229 hit the nail. Spots on my car looks exactly like that.
Now, question is; what did the previous owner do to be egged 6 times?

thanks guys, this forum rocks!

Jeez...... I wonder what you all would think of my car last night after driving through 4" of snowy slop and getting stuck. Yes I did... some guy pulled over and both of us shoveled me out. No, I did not have my snow tires on..... I save that for Thanksgiving each year. Darn, almost made it.

My front end looks like downtown Bagdad after a bombing run. My roof is covered in ... well apparently there was a flock of really pissed off sparrows had me in there sites ..... and carpets look like they've been trampled by an army of blind dog-walkers.

Take a rag, spit on it, and rub.

Peace

theres alot of imperfections that can be seen in sun, or in different lighting positions. If you look hard enough, with different kinds of lights, you can find all kinds of stuff wrong in the paint. Thats why body shops have lights all around the car.
