I would ask them then. They are a U.S. manufacturer and at the least should warranty their stuff if it's defective.

that doesn't sound right. Usually the milky swirls will show after only a couple of days in the sun. How long did the previous owner have it? Does it say fiberimages on it?

sounds like the hood is pitted which shouldn't happen if the clearcoat was done right the first time
