Can you try clay?

I would probably make the dealer fix it, but its a pain when its your daily driver.

You are correct. Something with the rail transport and with the vehicle being a holdover for over a year, it just baked in the sun while on the dealers lot for almost an entire year (which didn't seem to help the matter).

The dealer did keep my car overnight and their body shop was able to apply the clay bar to the paint surface and it really cleaned up the entire car. The paint really stood out and showed hardly any imperfections.

This was only too good to be true though....as of this past Saturday while I am cleaning the car, I began to notice raised clear bubbles/bumps that were very small, in certain areas of the hood (also located on the door today and the rear trunk). Some were separated and some were clustered. I'm beginning to wonder if this may be related to the clear coat issues I have read about previously.
