understood little of post. yes.

anwyay.

paint is orange peel, most have it, all cars have it, but some Zs are worse than average. nothing wrong with the paint, it just doesnt look as smooth as it could/should.

window streaks, nothing some weekly house cleaning cant fix, and I hear theres a fix for it at the dealer, not certain yet.

You can't fix orange peel unless you re-paint the entire car.

only 2 ways to "repair" it

wetsand the entire car, and end up with thin clear coat, possible problems later, or repaint it, who wants to kill resale by doing a complete repaint on a brand new car.

its not that bad, if youve ever seen a Z, it had orange peel, you only see it if you really look at the paint rather than the car, which is hard to do.
