    Pitted BMW Paint

    Although now that I have re-read your post you have stated that the issue is on all of the top horizontal surfaces- so that brings back my statement that the pictures are not clear or detailed enough for at least me to give an educated answer without seeing it in person. I do see what are...

    What is this??

    Sounds like the finish may be sticky(?) and causing excess heat build up which could be leading to the "glazed" pad.

    Okay to polish alloy wheels?

    Definitely looks like a bad repair job all the way through- it does not look like they repaired or prepped it properly before painting. IMHO it needs to be redone
