2010 370Z clear coat paint problems???

sdfoster91 · 01-31-2012, 08:04 PM

Just got word from the dealer that they will not cover my paint after they inspected it.

I have a black 2010 roadster z (10k miles) and this paint is worse than my car I traded for it (2007 black armada with 65k miles). My last 3 cars over the period of 9 years have been made by nissan and since Nissan wont cover their new crappy paint this z will be my last. Also I will make sure to tell everyone I know not to buy a Nissan because the paint will look like crap after 1 year of light use.

Even when I was at the St. Louis auto show last weekend it was evident that the new nissans had deeper swirl marks than most of the cars at the show.

Swirl marks are caused by wiping , waxing a car without removing the tiny particles of dirt first. Swirl marks at a car show are easily explained by the people going around and wiping off the fingerprints and dust/dirt without first cleaning off those tiny bits of dirt with claying or other detialing and cleaning products. Its how the surface is treated and not the paint.

Use Adams Swirl remover with their Revive polish, then wax. That will take care of swirls.
