Our paint sucks compared to euro

yah, they need to incorporate the self healing paint so folks dont need professional detailers any more. hahaha.

my G is over 5yrs old (original owner) and it still looks brand new. and no pro-detailer needed.

The paint on my 2002 maxima has held up well and still looks great, I've just maintained it with regular washes and waxes.

I have not seen any factory-painted car without orange peel...including euros. The only ones without orange peel are the hand-painted ones!

If you have over $8,000.00 to spend I have someone in Orange County and it will look like glass.

the paint on the infiniti and probably the same for ur Z's are super thin and chips super easily

Actually thats not true. I measure the paint on every vehicle I detail and the Z is not thin at all (4.5 mills on average). And as far as it chipping easily, being a medium hard clear coat it won't chip as easily as a hard clear. I owned a 2003 VW Jetta GLI for 7 years which had very soft clear, and it didn't chip bad at all. I would rate "my" Z as average as far as the hardness of the clear. I'm having clear bra installed very soon to assure a good looking car for years to come.
