Just noticed a flat paint spot on the drivers side door near the side view mirror. Looks like something was covering that area during the paint/clear coat process. Not sure if it’s worth getting repaired under warranty or not. I will mention it to the service department next time I’m in for a Jeep Wave oil change.

Why wouldn't you have it repaired? I wouldn't live with that on a new vehicle. You have a warranty for a reason. This is a perfect example of when to use it.

It's the white spot on the curve by the window weatherstripping?

Is it on top of the paint, or is it actually recessed.

It almost looks like wax residue left over from the dealer prep detail from the pics.

I think I agree. The more that I look at it, the more it looks like dry polishing compound or wax.

@Mikester86, get some detail spray and a microfiber cloth. Spray some detail spray on the sport and see if it buffs out with the cloth.

Or might be a paint deform (dirt) that was DA (sanded) on the production line and they forgot to polish back out.
