    Anyone recently or own a black pearl b7 passat

    I'm asking because I want to know if your cars paint has grey or silver specks size of dandruff. If you look closely on the paint of your car to check. Just discovered the speck spreads not just on the back bumper but also all throughout the car. I am a bit concern to why it's like that??or is it normal on dark cars.

    Is that not just the pearl effect? I presume you would not see these specks if you had a solid black.

    Im not sure its the pearl effect. I did more reading and found a few people with same problem after their car gets waxed.
    This could be from the dealer waxing the car to get rid of the buffing marks.

    Anyways got me self a Mothers clay kit and i'll see if that removes it.

    Nope.. the metallic fleck in my paint does not look grey or silver. The pearl makes it look a little blue-ish in the sun.

    Do you have a close up photo of the paint to show us?

    Yes, of course it does. That's the paint. You only really notice it when the car is clean in bright sunlight though. If you haven't noticed it before then you haven't really seen the amazing finish you can get with this paint option using the right products.
