Default Burning Smell from My New Lexus

I bought a new Es 330 on Tuesday and it was pretty much sitting in my
garage.
On Thursday I drove it a little bit and noticed some buring odor. After
driving it a little more this morning, I again smelt the same odor. I took
the car to my dealer and 2 mechanics smelt the odor and immediately told me,
"It's undercoating
and it will soon go away." Should I buy that?

I t sounds like they know that they're careless with the undercoating
spray gun and spray it on the exhaust or other areas that get hot.
Did you pay extra for dealer applied undercoating? If so YOU got
burnt.
