I painted cars for 35+ years, I'll share what I've learned about "fisheyes" in finishes.
1. Cleanliness, your hands have to be clean,clean, clean. Wash 'em a lot with a non moisturizing soap. Lava is good.
2. Wiping fresh paint with alcohol isn't necessary, and may lead to other problems, even fisheyes! There's additives in most drug store type alcohols. Read and understand the content labels of all the chemicals you're using, it's not all about health yadayadayawn.
3. Control what aerosols are sprayed on the property. Pledge, silicone, window cleaner should stay in the cabinet when you're doing a run. Those tiny droplets aren't paint friendly.And they can travel astonishing distances. I once repainted a dumpbody because some rookie decided that was a good time to wash his car windows.
His next lesson was wetsand 101.
4. If you get color on nice and smooth, then there is no reason that the clear shouldn't follow suit if you keep it uncontaminated.
