Guys, no spridget content but it is a LBC.  My son bought a new red Mini
Cooper Wednesday night and the next day we noticed the paint was pretty
rough on most of the horizontal surfaces.  There wasn't anything
contaminating the glass, lenses, trim or even the mirrors so we think it
was clear coat overspray from the factory.  The car was built in October
and had only been at the dealer for about a week.  We used a clay bar on
it yesterday and it worked very well to smooth out the paint.  There's
still a little roughness on the top edge of the left door and left
quarter, but I can probably get it with a little more work.  Do you
think there's any reason to be concerned or should we just forget it?  I
don't want the dealer to make it worse.

Matt
