Yes I read the site. I didn't expect such severe peppering in 300 miles because I bought the car with 800 already on it and it was virtually spotless.

The history of this car is starting to come together though. It was supposed to have the StarShield but turned out to be missing it in the front. I had the dealer make an allowence for this, but as the mystery continues to unravel I think that the missing StarShield indicates a recent repair and paint job, hence the spotless look.

Sam @ Premier told me to verify that the front was painted recently because I will want to be sure it has a chance to cure for 30 days so vapor doesn't get trapped under the clear bra and form bubbles.

I still need touch-up paint regardless of how I got in this situation
