    @daks, how does your paint look now? Are the blemishes still showing?

    COMPLETELY gone. I have the 202 Black, so it shows everything.

    You can relax.

    If you want it gone fast, either get the dealer to use a heat gun or take a drive down to some of those hot southern 4x4 parks and get some sun on the truck.

    Or just wait and it will fade on it own, speed will depend on how many hot sunny days you get.

    Perhaps the warm rag just helped expose the marks. we'll run with that :)

    Do you think this would apply to 2019 vehicles? I would so...

    They may have an updated # or just revised it for newer vehicles.

    This problem affects most North American new vehicles. Ford, Chevy, Honda etc... seems to happen more in the winter and early spring months.

    I guess because the cars/trucks don't sit in the lot with the wrap off and have the sun cooking out the moisture in the paint like in the summer.

    Hit it with a hair dryer moving back and fourth over the area for a bit. It will disappear before your eyes
