i dont have trees at my house and the car is under cover at night-in a garage by day.
the clear coat adjuster is telling me they will pay to sand off the clear coat and re clear coat it-but not repaint it. Does this ever look good????

the car was purchased in april and has 1900 miles on it.
I had similar issues with my paint. There were problems between the paint and the clearcoat. Ultimately they repainted it and it came out better looking than the 370Z's with factory paint jobs that they had. Pretty much all of them had imperfections under the clearcoat (seen under a ton of fluorescent lights), but nothing as bad as my car.

If you do a search on my threads you'll see my epic story about it.
