Thanks for the advice. I think I will take it to a dealer (I traveled out of state for this car so I can't go back to the dealer I bought the car from.) I don't think I am comfortable pretending that I never buff'ed it, mainly because they would certainly ask why I took delivery of the car at its current state.
I would probably tell them that I polished by hand and a new clearcoat should not be this thin and have them check the unpolished area with a paint thickness gauge.
