Am I the only one with the bad clear coat?

I had 2 saturns, one ruby red and one black, a 2008 and a 2009, the clearcoat is awesome, numerous unwashed bird droppings, dead bugs and 1 trip thru the carwash and their like new. this 2012 Nissan I swear, has no clear coat. 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.

Good luck finding a better paint job in cars under $60k. All companies are switching to this weak eco-paint.

, they are using water based paints now, better for the environment, not good for detailing fanatics.
