What was the first blemish on your Z?

having trucker tire tread fly up from under the car in front of you and smacking the front of your bumper hard enough to leave a nasty "fingerprint" that has not been buffed out to date...

Same. I finally softened it to almost invisible with "agressive" detailing..

2000 grit sand paper
rubbing compound
hand glaze
polish
paint sealant
wax

took 20 minutes for 1" by 3" blemish

happened to me when I was riding a motorcycle. Hit me right in the helmet and almost knocked me off at 65mph

Always wear a helmet when riding.

This happened to me about 2 weeks after getting the car, just that it did not hit the bumper, it was the hood on the passenger side. Left a good 2-3 feet "fingerprint"which mostly was buffed out. Only left 2 fine hairlike scratches. But first blemish was a rock chip on the front bumper the next day i got the car. Really this paint sucks....
