If this is a brand new car I'd raise hell about it.

Good luck op

Any resolution on this? Just curious becasue...

This weekend I was washing my truck and I had let it sit under a tree (stupid me). It had marks on that look EXACTLY like the bubbles you have. If I didn't know it was sap I would have thought it was bubbled. Washing didn't touch them. So I tried some Stoner's B&T remover and a microfiber. Didn't touch them. Now I'm beginning to get worried. Tried the B&T again and let it dwell for about 5 minutes. Finally softened it up a bit. Each time I'd spray it, got maybe 10% of it off. I've never seen stuff this tough. After about a dozen applications I got the majority of it off and then cleaned off the last of the residue with some polish.

Had I not known it was sap I would have given up and assumed it was a defect. I've been detailing cars for 20+ years and I've never seen stuff like this. Don't know what kind of tree it is, but I'll never park under it again!
