Thanks for giving me a little extra nudge to get this problem resolved Hooplescat. I brought it back to the dealership and they fixed it! It wasn't the "fisheye" problem the service manager originally presumed (he never did look at my hood the first time). He called the spots "Fall Out". Something they see happen when vehicles are sitting at a train depot or shipping dock for a little bit and environmental "fall out" can land on the car and sink into the paint. (still not 100% sure I understand what the fall out is). At any rate, he said it could be taken off with a clay bar. Brought it in yesterday and the spots are gone. Hood looks PERFECT! Very happy.
