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!

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...
