Thanks for the tip. I will give that a try if all else fails. I don't have any experience buffing and polishing and I hate the thoughts of my first attempt being on my new CVO limited.
Talked to the good folks at HD and it is not a service bulletin that came out but a tech tip. I pulled it up with my dealer and it actually looks like a fairly aggressive procedure to remove the imperfections. Not sure how I feel about letting them try it giving the miserable outcome of the buffing that they have tried previously.
If you find yourself with time on your hands, try to find some of the paint threads from 2006. What they are trying to pass off this time is the same crap they passed off back then, and I'll bet the results will be the same. I would only allow them to do this after they gave me something in writing stating they will replace the part if you're not satisfied with the result. Do Not do any sanding and polishing yourself, unless you want them to leave you holding the bag, so to speak. Btw, if the clear is soft, as mentioned by HighOnHD, all the sanding and polishing in the world isn't going to fix that. Unfortunately, Harley has their procedures and one of them is to put people off as long as possible until some just give up.
