Paint imperfections?

I was trying a new wax product this afternoon and noticed my paint looks kind of bumpy, almost like orange peel.

Any thoughts ? Is this normal on the f15?

This looks like typical factory lacquer. I have seen new cars in the showroom looking much worse.

Yup that's orange peel. It's normal, even a 300k Lamborghini has it.

It's not uncommon.

Years back I owned an Acura RL and one of the talking points on the car was the way the paint was sanded between coats (primer - base - clear). Probably one of the nicest factory paint jobs I've ever owned.... in that price point.....

Thank you everyone for the replies.

Tried a new quick wax called Shine armor; works fantastic. Two days so far flawless shine. We will see how she hold up.
