Default Ripples / Waves on shock towers

Anyone else ever experience this. Ill try to get a pic of what im talking about if im not explaining myself right. anyway it seems to get a lil worse over time. Car has never been wrecked it maybe have to do with the cheap ebay coilover spring rates im not sure

i have this on my 92si, but my 94ex doesn't have them, If you look in the app/cosmetic forum and look at engine bay shots you will see this on some but not all civics
