be VERY careful if you polish the factory paint as it takes away from the surface and can alter the color if it wears too thin

as for the no color on your pad, there is a difference in the type/quality of single stage they use. sherwin williams has a new single stage that looks so perfect that you would be hard pressed to find the difference in them.

Just went out and tested my Mom's Maxima - it has a CC. Are you saying that Nissan paints 370Z's different from all their other cars? I've been detailing for 20+ years and though I've never done a 370Z, I've never seen a car newer than the last decade that was SS / no CC (even repaints are cleared nowadays). If you're not getting color on your pad - it's cleared. If you get color, it's SS. Pretty easy to tell.
