totally agree... love the color but if i knew then what i know now i would've never got this color... if i keep it and don't trade for the new nismo, i might get a custom paint job done... pretty sad nissan :shakes head:

So its just like that for this color...vinyl wrap sounds good!

Never had that problem with my Black Cherry Z. But it is true...with any car, especially dark-colored cars, you have minimize the amount of paint-touching. Two-bucket wash, California Duster, Korean microfiber towels (not Chinese...and most are Chinese), dry with leaf blower not towels, all the usual stuff described in Junkman's detailing threads.

If you're getting that much scratching, you're doing it wrong.

i agree... but also disagree... i'm very careful while detailing... been detailing cars for around 30 years... i've never seen a paint surface this sensitive... ever... and my rx8 was black... proper technique is very important but something that's exposed to everything should be more durable than it is... just my :twocents:

Leaf blower eh? I might have to borrow one from my neighbor and give it a try

Then your car is painted with a different paint than mine was.

along with many others i suppose :stirthepot:

Your complaints about quality detailing equipment scratching the paint of a Z are unique IME, even on this internet site where complaints are one of the main reasons for posting.

please don't generalize my statement... my complaint is specific to the black cherry color... happy for you and your luck with yours :tiphat:

My last detailing before storage... I love black cherry
