Thanks for the replies! So here`s the final update. The small bubbles were `particulates` which they buffed out. There is still one area where the bumper meets the side panel that has a line of three small bumps. Per the auto body manager and dealer owner, the bumper came out of the mold at the factory that way and became more pronounced with the additional clear coat. There is nothing that can be done about it as those bumps are within an acceptable range for the factory, except to buy back the whole car, which he offered to do. The bumper paint job has a lifetime warranty on it so I feel okay about that overall. I exchanged some good emails and talked with the owner of the dealership about my concerns. I asked for and was graciously given an extended warranty so I am ready to move forward. That was a big deal to ask for anything ... I`m that person who gets a wrong order at the restaurant and eats it anyway. But the whole new car purchase had become such a letdown. Hopefully, all`s well that ends well. Thanks again all for the input.
