Unhappy Washed the car today

And I'm worried about a few things:

1. Bugs on the highway caused damage to the paint on the vertical part of the front bumper. I was thinking I could put that clear 3M shielding here. Thoughts?

2. Water stays in under the seal at the bottom of the rear window. Then lots of water runs out when you put up the hatch! I think it comes out of the same seal around the window, but it drains out at the hinge end of the hatch, on the underside. Oh yeah, I'll be putting up the hatch for every wash and rain from now on.

3. Brake dust. Lots of it on my Track model. But it's a sports car, so you can expect that.

the dust could be a problem with all nissans. Nissan has problems with their brakes. I can guarntee after a little while your brakes will start to sqweek. I don't know about brembos though, and nissan won't do anything about it. It happens cause they switched the materials in the brakes to a more environmentally friendly substance. I don't remember the name though. If they start to sqweek try to clean the dust out. If that doesn't work then the 350z is plagued with all nissan brake problems.

Just switch to a low brake dust pads like EBC Green Stuff. Of course, don't forget that most brake pads will leave more dust at first during the break-in period.
