I found an SDS and it stated IPA at 30% , maybe its an old formula thats been updated . Be interesting to see a current MSDS if theres one about but i couldnt find one any any current stockists websites which seem a little odd tbh
To me, it looks like some form of overspray, perhaps line marking paint? Removal would be with a clay bar, block or mitt. But.......................I don't know if you should do that on a freshly painted panel.I found these spots on my car when washing it yesterday. I have no idea what it is. In the "hole" under the driving light , the paint surface feels really rough. This is the only part of the car that wasn't ceramic coated due to it being reprayed just prior to delivery. I've tried washing and nothing happens. I'm worried I have stuffed up the application of one of the products I used but I have no idea what or how. I don't know how to get rid of it.
It might sound stupid but it is really playing on my mind that the car is not "perfect" anymore. I hate knowing these spots are there.
My first thought was overspray. But it hasn’t been out enough to get it from anywhere.To me, it looks like some form of overspray, perhaps line marking paint? Removal would be with a clay bar, block or mitt. But.......................I don't know if you should do that on a freshly painted panel.
It could also be solvent pop, or something that is the result of the respray. Google "Solvent Pop", some examples are more pronounced than others.
The fact its isolated to one area on the bumper and not the whole thing, I would be inclined to think its paint overspray. I would be asking your detailer or the shop that did the respray work before proceeding, I haven't dealt with fresh paint before.
Actually, on closer inspection, the headlight would also have the white dots. Zooming in further, it could actually be solvent pop. I really, really hope not. So yes, definitely have a pro look at it in person.
And yes, I know that feeling of it not being "perfect" anymore.
To be honest, i would have thought you of all people would know how to get rid of that within a minuteI found these spots on my car when washing it yesterday. I have no idea what it is.

what hope do we have!
Fully committed there with a 4 liters of Reset, glad you liked it!I just love this car especially when it's shiny and clean. Today I finally got around to cleaning it after about 6 weeks of dirt and grime from my daily drive. I also finally got to use my new soap, my Carpro Reset and wow it is amazing and a million times better than what I was using previously, a great product like all of theirs are. I've pretty much replaced all previous products I use with Carpro. Another shout out to @DFB5.0 for all your car care tips and recommendations, it's given me additional interest in the products I use and try so cheers.
Ok, so this is probably going to sound like heresy, but I have not noticed any difference between most of the car shampoo brands I have used. Maybe because my cars never really get that dirty, but by the time I foam, rinse, foam again, wash and then rinse, regardless of which brand I use the car is clean. I done buy soaps with wax or additives so what difference would I see with Reset or something similar from another favoured brand? But I do buy brands that have good lubrication.I just love this car especially when it's shiny and clean.

As you mention, when a car is well maintained, the differences between soaps is less pronounced. Slickness aside in my opinion.
You have hit the nail on the head with what you describe. My car is ceramic coated and I noticed all of the points you raised. It may have been my imagination but I definitely thought it made the car look cleaner and the black deeper
One of my key requirements when choosing a soap is for it to work in both a foam cannon and a bucket. I'm all for setting fire to cash on detailing products, but quite often the detailing companies offering separate soaps is all about selling more product.
