Fish Eye
A fish eye is a dimple in paintwork caused by a contaminant on the painted surface repelling the paint.
This is usually found on panels or areas which have been repaired and repainted. If contaminated with products which contain oil or silicone, the paint will be repelled from that area, causing a thin spot or hole in the painted surface.
This cannot unfortunately be polished out or wet sanded out as it is a hole in the painted finish.
