Do you have a photo of the film? Do you have any idea what it might be?

If you look at the surface of an orange there are tiny bumps all over the surface of the orange peel. A vehicle can have similar bumps all over the surface of the the paint and that is called 'Orange Peel'.

Look at post #5 (the other pc's post) in this thread: Orange Peel?, there are some helpful photos.

Time to wash the car.

And maybe time to clay & polish as well!!

If it's on the horizontal surfaces, like hood, roof and trunk, then it is rail dust, tree sap, or industrial fallout. That means it's time to clay! If it's on the sides of the car, it is road sealant. That means it's still time to clay!

Of course, if you clay, then you will have to clean, polish, and wax too!
