I call this concept THE WALDO EFFECT: When you look for Waldo on a page full of distractions you might take a long time to find him. If you removed everything from that page but Waldo he would stand out like a sore thumb. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the clean surface of both the...
A few Halogen lights will warm it up, just not quickly. Friction will warm things up pretty quick in terms of the polishing. A blow dryer on the panel for a few seconds beforehand will help.
At this point it is probably more for their engineers to find the source of the problem to work out the bugs for the next model year. In the meantime, insist on a comparable loaner each time you have to leave your vehicle and ask for some concessions every time you are inconvenienced.
As stated, it has been repainted at some point. A respray is the only fix. Since it is only on the top and covered by the hood when closed I would recommend just letting it be unless it really bothers you or starts to flake off.

I recently bought a Makita 9227 from another detailer via facebook to have as a second for $115 shipped. When I got it, it had a rattling noise. Opened it up to find some of the teeth from the bevel gear broken. Cost to replace will be roughly $70 to replace it (I don't have the tools to deal...
I think you might have a hard time getting people to spend the full amount on the spot and therefore might miss opportunity. Perhaps requiring a deposit to get the discount price would be less commitment for them. Limit the time discount is good for and offer to credit that amount to toward...
For those in places where the temps remain below freezing or those who live in apartments without access to water and facilities a standard wash isn't always an option.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to change their methods but to reassure those who question the safety that it can be done...
