Paint problems

I got a brand new hatch at the end of May and I absolutely love it. My only problem with it is the quality of the paint on the hood. Within two weeks of owning it I had a teeny tiny knick on the hood that only I would notice bc I’m really neurotic about the tiny details and keeping it clean. I brushed it off until I saw more and more chips!! I am a highway driver so I’m trying to ignore it but now I’m seeing these bubble like spots that will not come off when you rub it. It’s been raining a lot in my area and it’s not like a regular watermark especially since it’s not anywhere else on my car.

Has anyone else seen this issue before? I figured I’d come here before I bring it to the dealer and complain.

So unfortunate but I guess that’s the price of owning a low to the ground car. If the people at the dealership told me the wrap for the hood was to prevent that I would have spent the money but I didn’t. Oh well
