2010 370Z clear coat paint problems???

Your clear coat bubbles will disappear in cooler weather. I get them all the time when I park my '09 in direct sunlight. Usually only happens in July and August when temperatures in North Carolina reach the upper 90s. I still wrestle with whether to ask for a warranty repaint but since they are only there a couple of months a year I haven't pushed for it.

Have you looked for the problem under fluorescent lighting? I bet they are still there. Mine were there no matter what. It doesn't really make sense that they would only appear in hot weather.

mine had little cracks under the bubbles. Most detailers and body shops said the same thing-pine tree sap or a corrosive drip while it was sitting waiting for transport to the dealer. when I bought it-i had the car get another clear coat-so it sealed it in.
i have gotten pics from the body shop where they have it down to the metal-i wait with trepidation for Friday when I have to go inspect it. I have just been getting the run around...but have held firm (hard for me to be a B- - - -).

any hints on what I should do when i go look at it? Look in any certain spots - i dont know...
