the bug and tar remover stuff you get at walmart seems to work pretty well...

i got really tiny black spics on the rear hatch right under the spoiler, im not sure what it is, it doesn't seem to come off.

Yeah, I would try some clay. If thatdoesnt work, then you might have some problems.

When you buy a 370, you are basically purchasing is with the understanding that it's going to take some damage - clear bra or no clear bra. With a car the rides so low to the ground with big low profile tires, it's just inevitable. The best you can do is just try to minimize whatever damage there is and enjoy the car. I obsessed over the little chips and scratches for a long time, but I realize they are just the nature of the game.

Thank you for the comments so far. After seeing all the posts about the paint, scratches, chips, etc. I fugured it might be hard to keep this car in perfect shape. I guess after reading though, that's the case with any sports car.

Toyota used to boast about THAT, and just look at 'em now! All things being considered, our Zs are rated as "Much Better Than Average" (i.e. the highest rating possible) by C.R. Relax and enjoy your beaZt, dude.
