Its likely very common on the camaro... GM started using a new panel manufacturing process in these cars that actually debuted on the C6 vette. Its an environmentally friendly process and uses a different set of curing chemicals to harden the plastics. Its also why "new camaro smell" is slightly different than "new car smell" the same chemicals that we all got used to smelling in the interior of a new car (plasticizers, glues, etc) are all being changed. Still smells like a new car, just not the same smell anymore.

For whatever reason the stuff is easily scuffed and holds surface transfers from almost anything that comes in contact with it. Kind of annoying, but not much you can do about it other than clean it when you see it... keeping panels dressed with an interior conditioner will prevent it a little, but not entirely.
