Question Bubble under clearcoat?

Anybody else find what seems to be an air pocket or bubble in their clearcoat? It's not a scratch cause it feels as smooth as the rest of the paint... but there's definitely some type of bubble.

I have about six of these on my Honda Odyssey....I was gonna take it to the dealer to have them fix it, but I didnt want them to buff more clearcoat off the car.

I do not have any on my 8. I DO however have a lot of hairline scratches. I'm leaving these alone too....

I've got one spot near the front corner of the hood, that's round, about the size of a small pea (well, about the DIAMETER of a small pea) and while it's not a bubble per se, the paint is "crazed" - with very slight cracks running in a spidery pattern within this round spot. It's been there since the first week I had the car. Unfortunately I didn't spot it until after I had coated the front end with the clear-bra and it's impractical to remove the hood clear-bra just to have the dealer spot and blend this very slight imperfection. I'm probably the only one living who would ever see it but it's there. Sounded enough like what you guys are talking about for me to chime in.
