Whats wrong with my Paint?

Hello guys.. so as you read on the tittle, there is something wrong with my paint or is it normal?

">

I was taking photoshots to my car.. And i was taking a good photo of the G37 S in a good angel.. all in all everything went okey. i had enough good photos of my car.. but this picture is driving me crazy there are those dots on my car.. they are everywhere.. when i transfer the photos from my camera to my computer and saw this picture i went back to my car imedtly and check out all the car in closer look and i found out that these small shiny dots are everywhere!!

and oh yeah b4 i forget.. these dots are not from my camera bcuz see.. the black thingy between my rear bumber and my trunk is empty no dots at all

I never used Wax or polish on my car i mean NEVER ever.. is this normal or its just my car that my dealer used a low quality polish? bcuz i remember that my dealer polished my car b4 i receive it the first day when i bought it

please any suggestion? if its from low quality polish or its on all AG onwers?? (btw lol my car is AG color)

here are some picture i shots.

It may be dust impregnated into your clear coat. If you get a clay bar and a quality clay lube, you can easily clay a part of the finish and see if it removes it.

The cleaning you did to you car will do nothing to get that out of your finish. Polishing, washing, nor waxing will remove them, only using clay.

Here's how to tell if it's impregnated contamination in your clear coat: Get a very thin plastic like a plastic grocery bag or sandwich bag. Place it over your hand and rub it along your sparkling clean car. If you feel the specs then it's dust impregnated in the clear coat and a full clay treatment is your best bet. Particularly living in the desert, you probably want to clay your car at least every 5 or 6 months or so, more often if necessary.

Side question: are those headlights painted???

The dealer probably just sprayed some sparkle on your car when they saw you walking in

Honestly though, I have something similar when you zoom in. I just live with it coz as Igor said, it's hopeless getting our cars cleaned with all dust and sand around

I can't tell for sure, but, are there sparkles on the badges too? Maybe it's sap or overspray?

I have that all over my trunk and the rear sides of my car. I am unfortunate to have a garage or even a little roof so when the wind blows sand and dirt get stuck to the car. Eventually the sun puts those little grains through the clear coat and they get stuck there. I am going to try and clay it and then buff. Ill let you know how it goes !
