Default Paint "Blotches"

Has anyone else experienced any paint "blotches"? I have several small (about the size of a half dollar) spots where the paint (silver) is duller. It doesn't stand out unless the light hits it right (very noticeable in the sun at high noon). I went to my dealer and one person told me that the problem is due to Audi applying the clear coat before the paint is dry. They said that Audi is using a new "water based paint" (??) and that the spots can be removed with a heat gun. Has anyone else heard this? My car is still there (I have an A4 WAGON loaner! Talk about extremes) and the tech is looking at it today. I will let everyone know what I find out.<p>TThanks.<br>

Default Dealer touchups perhaps?

Were they there when you got the car?
