It could be a newer, thin paint, but I doubt it is that bad. The cars would need a respray after a few years if that was the case.

I have a 13', and I have machine polished (with a random orbital polisher), waxed (by hand and with the orbital polisher) and buffed the car (by hand or with a orbital buffer) dozens of times without issue. I have also polished out trouble spots like after doing debadging, and again, no issues. I don't know if the OP pressed too hard, heated the metal too much, compounded the panel in the sun or outside where there paint was soft, or just had a thin patch from the factory.
