Did anyone else have a problem with the paint on the rear bumper of their BRAND NEW celica? I have a 2002 silver and the yop of the bumper (just under the license plate) looks like crap, it is not smooth like the rest of the car and when you run a cloth over it to wax sounds harsh, if I look at it under certain lighting I can see the area in question is just covered in pin-size speckles everywhere on the top and it looks like bad water spots but they are not water spots however the reast of the bumper is fine.
The car is 2 weeks old, can this be buffed out or do they need to repaint?

Anyone else seen this on your celica?

I used meguiars scratch X. It helped a little bit.

My whole front bumper and headlights were like that on my brand new spectra blue 2000 GT-S. My friend had the whole rear bumper like that on a brand new red 2000 GT. We both had parts repained for free at our dealerships.
