i wouldn't wetsand...that's just asking to remove the clear coat. buff with a fine grade foam pad and glaze. it may take a while to get it to look better but its worth it to keep from going through the clear coat.

Hey, If you have a red one then its Paint code is R81 milano red. That color is a three stage paint from the factory. Really takes a beating from UV rays. So the spots you are seeing are thin spots. " pink in color" right? If so you now have a Milano Pink integra. The best way to fix this is to re-spray the car. Hope I helped.
