I'm not a painter, but I think I mentioned earlier that it could be just a slight defect during the painting process. Could be considered normal since other people have experienced it and the nature on the curved surface. I forget the term, but the metallics in the paint may have cluttered/settled in a fashion that makes the odd line when hit with direct sunlight.

The paint on these cars are pretty low quality as is, my SWP shoes cloudy blotches in the sun and my door handle has a certain dark spot as well.

Pinnacle pre wax body lotion + some collinite 845 should do the trick

Siiiiiiiiiiiigh ok I didn't want to admit this but I will because I don't want you stressing out over this.

Mine turned out to be a reflection. YES A REFLECTION.

Somehow the sun hits that part of above the fender where it curves in just right at certain parts of the day and makes it look exactly like in my pictures and video.

If you shield the area from the sun, it won't change the 'mark' at all. No matter where you stand, the mark doesn't change shape or anything.

However, if you put your hand riiiiiiiight against that concave section, you'll block the reflection.

It's the strangest reflection I've ever seen but it's just the sun.

Sorry for all the wasted time guys.
By the way, once I found this out accidentally, not only did I test it by blocking the concave area but I turned my car around and got the same mark on the opposite side. Literally the same shape and length.

Tldr: it was just the sun.
You mean this?

Yeah that looks like the same thing. Touch the center of the concave part and it'll disappear. But you have to basically put your finger on the surface where the reflection originates or it won't go away.
