Due to all the rain of late the car hasn't had a wash in a while. All was going well til I dried the car. Noticed that water has got under the paint.
last time it was washed the other month I gave it acpoat of colonite wax as per usual nothing different :[

What will have caused this?
Only on spoiler and bonnet can kind of push the water around











Shame as the rest of the car is still minty fresh

caused by micro blisters, water then gets under the lacquer and lifts, only solution is to get rid of the old paint and get it done properly

Long time. Keep wavering but I cant think of anything that ticks all the boxes as well as this. Was looking at 2006/7 rs4 estates but heard some horror storys so stuck with the honda.

think i got it in late 2009. Its been a trusty steed and has only ever wanted serving since ive had it and hasn't missed a beat dispite the extra poke
