Beats me, that's stock paint.. at 3000 miles.
Actually... as far as I know, all new cars come with orange peal, reason for that is the thick coat of clear from the factory, so after several years if not decade of detailing, your clear coat doesn't start to come off but instead still have a nice thick coat for a deep detail without worrying about going through the clear. My friends have had several new benz's that came with orange peal, after a few years... the paint eventually becomes very smooth, clear and reflective.

And this is correct. Every car coming from the factory has A LOT of orange peel. The only way to get a *near flawless* paint apeal is an aftermarket paint job, w/ buffed out clear.
