I had the same issue with my Solid Red. And I'm pretty sure they took a broom to it to clean the snow off since it's only horizontal surfaces. I got it as good as I could and then just use waxes with fillers. It's still not as good with my truck with 120,000 miles on it, but it's better. And it will always bother me until the day I sell the car. They weren't supposed to do anything but pull the plastic off before delivery. They obviously washed it, and probably cleaned it with a broom.
You might look into a wetsanding and a light over spray of clear. I've heard of that being successful. You soften the scratches with the wetsand and then a light spray of clear gives you some more material to work with and buff out. Keep in mind that the scratches aren't in the color, but in the clear. If you want a good opinion, take some high quality photos and post them up on Autopia with your story and see what everyone there has to say.

scottIN - It sounds strange, but mine are very hard to photograph. I've had it compounded and buffed out 2 times in the last 30 days and that's what I know of, once by the dealer & once by a independent shop that has a five star rating from all the best body shops. Its a little better, but after a good rain which around here in the summer is everyday. It looks like crap, especially in my garage under the lights.The owner of the independent shop said he's afraid to cut in the clear anymore. I'll look into the wet sanding and re- clear option - Thank You & Thanks to Everyone for the information - Bill Miller
