Paintwork on new cars is baked in an oven at a high temperature, something you can't do when the car is fitted out with interior, plastics etc. When a panel or even a car is repainted then all they can do is put infra red lamps on to help the paint flash off. The paint will take several weeks to fully cure during which time is shouldn't be polished or waxed. Sounds to me that they didn't get a great finish out of the gun and have flatted and polished too early!
Being approved Im sure they did this. My car was done the same way, I have the video to prove it! They do polish it before they return the car though. After I filmed my car being painted and heated etc the painter said it couldn't be collected in il it was properly polished.
