If I didn't know any better, my car missed the clear-coat sprayer at the factory. In a short period of time, the paint has become dull looking and during a wash and wax for a special occasion last month I noticed that the lower rear corners of the back doors and the front of the quarter panels that wrap above the rear tires appear to have no clear coat on them at all. the paint feels as oxidized in these areas as if it were 20 years old. I have bought severely used vehicles in the past that had a better paint job/clear coat than this brand new vehicle. I keep feeling I bought the "demonstrator model" even though it had no miles on it...I have no idea what to do...the dealership is of no assistance...I shouldn't have to bring it to a car paint place to have a clear coat applied not pay the cost...totally lost what to do
