Am I the only one with the bad clear coat?

on a black, definitely use polymer sealant and keep a good coat of LSP on top... everything shows up on dark solid colors.

bird crap can be very acidic based on wat the bird ate. i recommend you also look into doing a full clearbra if things are really bad.

At less than 200 mile on the odometer it has chips on the hood from teeny stones while my other, much okder cars have none. Nice car but I will never buy a nissan again. No use having a beautiful car that you have to keep garaged or covered. I wonder if Nissan is aware of this problem.
