I'm not sure. I was never able to edit a primitive modeler, so I convert them
to vertex
instead.

The blue lines indicate a crease. When you render the object, there will be a
noticeable
edge where the blue lines are, while the grey edges render smoothly. You can
smooth the
edges individually using the crease tool, or select all and choose Selection ->
Smooth
Edges.
Another problem you're probably encountering is that instead of having 2
adjacent
polygons witha common edge, you have 2 separate polygons with one edge exactly
in the
same place as the edge of the other. I don't know if that's a problem with the
soft that
originally created the obj file oor if it's a CS conversion problem. You can
either weld the
problem points manually or select all and choose Selection -> Weld and use a
small
tolerance.
I don't see any practical reasons to save it as an obj file again. Just keep it
as a car file.
