Thanks for the replies.

GM rep and the dealership have both stated that the problem with my car is acid rain. An independent body shop also confirmed the problems.

We have tried using compounds/glass cleaners and steel wool to clean he glass. We have removed maybe 75% of the etching but the remainder is still terrible. It is significantly etched by the acid in the rain. No one has addressed the paint problem to date.

I saw an article online that a significant acid rain storm followed by hot sun can damage a car from the one event. Oshawa Ont has a big problem with acid rain.

Hopefully someone else who's car was built the same day has recognized this problem.
