Keep an eye on the Mid-Atlantic forum. I'm going to try to organize a get together in the next week or so.

But like all is saying. CLAY BAR! Its like 20 bucks.
lol i'm going to buy a clay bar as soon as I get some time off from work. Probably tomorrow and try it on monday.

Appreciate everyones responses btw. Hey m4a1mustang, if you could take a look at the fingerprint/paint issue I have sometime that would be straight as well. I'm going to go to my buddy's shop sometime next week, but if you could check it out before that i'd really appreciate it. PM me your # and i'll text u.

I'm thinking the dealer should be the one to wetsand/polish that fingerprint for me. Seems wrong I would have to pay a shop to do it when the car doesn't even have plates yet. Also, if the clay doesn't solve the issue, what steps should I take to get it resolved?

I forgot to mention the paint also peeled off a teeny bit where my bumper meets my fender. It's super small but the fact that the paint actually PEELED off this early pissed me off as well. The dealer said they were waiting for a response from their district manager to approve the warranty coverage. The Nissan body shop said it is most likely covered, but i've yet to hear back from them. I guess i'll go back and bitch some more.

sigh. I hate being that guy, but I just paid for a new car and I don't think all these issues are justifiable this early on and everything should be covered.

thoughts?
