Oh yeah, forgot about another thing -- the infamous clear coat bubbles on the roof hoop. My Formula has about 4 of 'em You can see a nice CLEAR bubble, and when you pop it with a blade (oops) the black base coat is intact below the clear.

That is not true. In a two part paint system Clear and the base paint are not mixed. Base is put on followed by the clear. If you look at the trunk jambs and under hood you can see where the clear was not applied. Additionally, You could not do that on a metallic paint because you would actually move or take off the metallic flake every time one used a polish or clay bar. What probably happened is you pelled up the clearcoat.
