Orange Peel on my new Durango???

Hopefully someone can help to understand what orange peel in my paint job is? I just leased (2 weeks ago) a 2006 Dodge Durango, however I noticed when the sun hit it that the entire truck front to back is covered in scratches, which look to be swirled scratches and also a silver looking swirling on the doors and front corner panels. I took it back to the dealer the day after I picked it up and they insisted it was just a "bad wheel job". They applied a teflon coating and wheeled the truck out again. Yet, the swirled scratches are still all over the truck. I again had the truck up there and the head of the body shop said it is "orange peel". I don't know what to do, as I do not feel that I should have to pay 289.00 a month for a "new" truck that has a crap paint job. They say they will contact Chrysler to see what they want to do. Any suggestions, any at all. I'm so disappointed and frustrated. What causes orange peel, I've been told they do it to cars that are meant to custom painted?

1. you get a hold of Chrysler and now local news have beaten this to death give a call anyway pester squeaky wheel gets the grease you will get this one also(industrial Revelation fallout) that's Little bumps fell of hand go get them its a lot of money if you have to get mean park near there entrance put signs on Windows about your paint and service
2. orange peel is typical on factory painted cars it dosent mean the paint is peeling it means it has a slight texture to it like an orange peel its because of quality control on factory paint custom paint jobs recieve several layers of paint and are color sanded to get rid of the orange peel look thats why they look so smooth if you are leasing the car i wouldent worry about the paint if you are buying it i would complain see if they will wet sand it and rub it out for you its the only way to get rid of the orange peel effect i detailed cars for years and this shop sounds like they either think you are dumb or they have crappy detailers you should not be able to see any swirl marks whatsoever if someone detailed my car and their were swirl marks on it i would defenatly complain
