They're not defects, they're stone chips.

 

[Andy_con]

dw?

 

[Renshaw]

stone chips or overspray from the alloys maybe a smart repair?? can't really tell from the picture but the colour looks similar to the alloys

try claying the area

 

[DrR]

Well both my 1*2 have had this.

 

[Andy_con]

tried clay and no good

 

[DrR]

Why would clay work, it's not dirt it's chips.

 

[Andy_con]

so how to reduce its appearnce then?

 

[Daz.]

Dw is detailing world. Check the detailing section for a recent thread in stonechipped bonnets.

Get a fine detail paintbrush and a touch up pen and spend half an hour touching them all in, wet sand with 3000+ and buff up to perfection .

IIRC you're fairly local to me. if you want another opinion drop me a PM as it's a little difficult to truly tell from the pictures
