anyone noticed bubbles under the paint during sub zero temperatures? they look like small rust bubbles just like on a steel body, however this car is plastic . They disappear during summer.
Can this be caused by washing the car in temperatures below zero or polishing the car in late autum? Perhaps this is frozen liquid residue in the plastic itself
there is only a few and they are very small, more like a rash. The paint is undamaged.

The car has never been machine washed. I use high pressure at a safe distance, however the do-it-yourself wash that I use most is fairly low pressure. The area has never been repainted. These past 2 winters I have not washed below 0, however the temp has droped below 0 before the car has dried. Before I noticed these bumps first in dec 2008, I had polished the car in early november in about 4 degrees. Its only on the roof between the roof rack rail and the rear side window.
shouldn't be a problem I guess, as long as I dont rub at it or spray at it. I guess too much heat while drying could seal the outer layer of paint before the chemicals under evapourate out fully. Next year I'll polish at he end of summer, and see if that helps.
