The gritty-ness honestly feels like a really coarse dust. If I rub it with a microfiber in one spot for a good minute it sort of smooths out, but still feels rougher than the rest of the car. I'm starting to think it may be what gmz said earlier about contaminants in the paint and to just clay it....but I'm still paranoid. The fingerprint is still unexplained though.

I'm also still curious to see if anyone else has this issue with their paint
From how you describe the bumper that sounds fishy. But for the feel of the paint there could be many reasons. Maybe it was parked with that side toward something that put off dust? If that side was facing say train tracks you could have some rail dust. Or maybe next to something else of that type in the port. Id def get the bumper checked out, but while youre waiting do a good claybar treatment and see what that nets you.
