For your information being meticulous and familiar with PROPER DETAILING has nothing to do with DEFECTIVE PAINT AND THE PAINTING PROCESS!So I don't know where you are coming from as maybe you don't also!
The point everyone is trying to make that has defects in the paint jobs and paint on the new Z is garbage.So your statement has nothing to do with that issue.
I for one know all about detailng and meticulous PROPER CAR CARE.I have had many black cars and have NEVER had such problems with paint as the new Z!
As for the poster that said "get used to it"! Well his statement pretty much speaks for it self about his character!
We are on here to discuss our likes and dislikes and problems we may be having related to the paint on our new Z.Please understand the frustration we who are having these problems feel after buying a new car.It doesn't matter if it cost $20,$30 or $40,000 dollars.It is a new vehicle and Nissan didn't just start making cars yesterday!Price on a NEW car shouldn't matter as far as quality of the paint job!

You need to calm down. I was responding to this statement:

I had a 1999 red Mustang and the roof slowly became spotted over the years. Also had a red Mazda that had paint coming off the roof, hood and trunk. I waxed those cars like crazy, just didn't help. Just get another color...

Maybe you need to read the entire dialog prior to flying off the handle. I hope you have a blessed day.

So here's the latest...

I was supposed to meet with my Sales Manager from my Nissan Dealer along with the GM of that dealer...of course the GM flaked and my Sales Manager can't make any decisions for anything! So, he basically told me that "they have done everything" they can do for me. In other words, which he admitted, Nissan is perfectly willing to expect someone to pay full price for a brand new 370Z with paint defects. CRAP! If I were a new customer off of the street, I'm sure these paint defects would be used as some type of bargaining chip and I'd get a discount of some type off the car...same with hail damage, etc!

I basically told him where to go and that this was not an acceptable replacement for the first car, with the same paint defects, that Nissan stated they would not hold a warranty on that paint!!!!!!

He left the room for a while and came back to tell me that someone from Nissan Regional would be coming in tomorrow to look at the paint defects on this car. So...we'll see...

I pretty much think I'm getting screwed on this deal! Still don't have my car!!!

Oh, and I was going to try to get photos of the defects but they left the car so freak'n dirty there was no way to get any good photos...I tried...!!!!
