Default Paint feels coarse/thinner clear coat?

I just waxed my car today for the first time and I've noticed that on my monterey blue Z on the passenger side, the entire top half of the car feels rougher than the bottom. Almost like the clear coat is way thinner on the top half. It starts at the top half of the bumper and goes from the fender to the rear quarter panel. There is also a fingerprint... yes a FINGERPRINT in the clear coat on my fender. Could this car have been involved in a shipping accident or a fender bender in transportation/on the lot resulting in a shop trying to cover it up by re-painting?.. or could the fingerprint have been during the primary painting at the nissan plant?

My question is, does anyone else notice that on certain parts of their Z the paint isn't as smooth as it should be? After waxing (with every car i've owned) the entire car should feel silky smooth.... but not my Z. The top half feels coarse.... there definitely isn't enough clear coat.

My dealer should cover this right? Honestly I'm starting to feel this car is a lemon, because the paint on my bumper is peeling off on the corner of where the bumper meets the fender as well.

What do I do now? Help! Any insight, experience or advice is greatly appreciated.
