You really have to be **** with this car, and Nissan giving us shitty paint jobs doesn't help that.
A little pebble (I don't even think it was 2mm) left the smallest ding in my windshield and I wrote down the construction truck and everything. If there are anymore (it is NOT big and only detectable through **** looking) I will raise hell..damn trucks not going on the truck routes.

Maybe it's easier to find a reputable place in Houston than where you guys live. If you roll by and you see Benzs and Porsches and the likes, leave your car with them. We drive $100K+ cars to the same wash every weekend before we deliver them to customers on Sundays. We don't even wash our own cars since these guys do such a great job.

just wash your own car
unless you're middle-aged and fat or something where you physically can't do it. I wouldn't let a car wash place wash a car I cared about because:
if it's an automatic carwash, the Z can possibly get something caught on the bottom of the car on the rollers
those long fabric brush cloth things suck on paint - dirt gets caught up in them and it just rubs the dirt into the paint
if it's a hand wash place, chances are the cloths or mits they use are reused over and over again from car to car and are not particularly soft cloths
there's always the possibility the people working there aren't exactly manual experts or might do something stupid like crash your car.
It costs time and money that you can easily spend on much better cleaning supplies and doing a much better self wash yourself - even if it takes you a little more time to do, at least it'll be done right. And it's kinda fun.
lastly, in my case my car has a tilton clutch and is really hard for most people to drive. They'd just stall the crap out of it.
