Does nissan use cheap paint or clear coat on the Z? Everytime I wash the car it seems to get new scratches. Anyone put the extar coating of clear that the dealer offers on the car from 3M? Thinking about getting, it any thoughts?

 

Is this paint complaint #10,000?

Have members paid the dealer a couple of hundred dollars for Super Shine, Word Class Luster or Lifetime Exterior Protection package? I'm sure they have. Some people love to throw money away.

 

what color is your caR?

 

I thought about wet sanding mine and respraying it.

 

dave your the man

 

someone keyed my car and it has a scratch on it now. the paint is cheap. haha

 

first, learn how to clean and detail your car. make sure you use good quality microfiber towels to clean and dry your car. always make sure you have two buckets of water. one with soap and the other without soap for rinsing your cleaning towels as you wipe your car down. remember the less you touch your car, the better the chances you will not scratch it. i use and electric leaf blower to dry my car to about 95%. then i use microfiber towels to finish the job.

 

wow nexx that is hardcore

 

More than hardcore, I'd say he's proficient on the way to properly wash cars...

 

serious thats some crazy sheit...leaf blower? and all i just drive my car around

 

In a word <sans sarcasm> YES! Nissan royally screwed us on the paint. My SB turns 1 yrs old next month and if I had a nickel for every swirl mark I could buy an entire fleet of '06s for my driving pleasure. Not to mention some ******** recently scratched my passenger door and left his/her paint on it. I'm thinking about having the whole thing redone in another shade of black after it's all paid off.

 

+1

 

i dont think its crazy but my neighbors do give me some strange "wtf" looks from time to time.

 

Seriously...use a leaf blower...it works pretty well. You may have a few water spots here and there that you have to polish/wax out but if you have a powerful leaf blower and water that's not too hard (full of minerals), then I think you'll be pleasantly suprised. You do get the crazy looks from the neighbors though.

If you don't have the money for a good leaf blower, try the California Water Blade...it's a silicone wiper that is very easy to keep clean of abrasive matter and works pretty darn awesome.

 

leaf blower...thats so my next thing to try come this weekend

 

the paint is just $hitty. My car is 4 months old and the paint is flaking and all chipped up in the front and some on the sides.

 

that my friend, is from driving too close to cars on the freeway. before i got into a minor fender bender, my 04.5 with 13k miles had virtually zero chips. i had a little nick and that was it. why? cause i read about people having problems with paint chips on the bumper, so from the day i started to drive my car, I made sure never to drive behind anyone too closely. i never drive behind large vehicles. i always changes lanes or slow down to avoid these situations.

 

Once you have tried a blow job you will never go back to the old way.

 

The leaf blower doesn't blow dust and ****t all over the car?

 

My thoughts exactly!
