You need to protect your paint from the elements. The Nissan paint is AVERAGE - there are better (German, esp) and there are worse believe it or not. If the TWI is harder to come off its probably a better bet for a lasting barrier. I wax my car every third or fourth wash - otherwise you're removing a good portion of the protection for you paint.

Take your car into a reputable detailer who can likely buff the etching out and keep your car waxed!!! The synthetic waxes typically last longer and are easier to apply (doesn't leave a white residue). I prefer ICE myself as it can be applied to your plastic trim pieces as well whereas NXT recomends NOT putting it on your plastics.
