Thanks sir. I sprayed the car with same issue. So I didn't wet floor and it has done it again. I changed from my usual clear. I used omni mc270. I usually use transtar motor city clear. I have never had this issue.

Are you sure it is fisheye and not solvent pop? They look a little alike, if there is a slew of it, it is probably solvent pop.

It looks like lil craters all over. So I'm not sure. But it made my work look like junk.

Try color sanding the clear,then recoat. A longer wait between coats is needed with some of the clears. A lot of the guys use SPI, supposed to be the best.
