Nissan has the worst clearcoat and thin paint!

Yeah paint it terrible, I don't know when car makers changed to worse paints and clear coats but I had an '05 Hyundai outside for almost 6 years and no paint issues. And a 97 Camaro pretty as well outside for 8 years with no issues either and never did anything but the occasional automatic car wash and wax. Yes there were swirls and the unavoidable chips too. But this car after only 6k miles has almost as many chips as my hyundai did in 6 years and 60k miles.
I would have gotten a clear bra too but in the NYC area everyone assumes you have money and wants 5-6k or so to do the full clear bra and 2-3k to do the bar minimum. Id rather get a full paint job in 5 years for those prices.
