I've seen it 3 times now on brand new stock units, seems to becoming a more and more common thing.

Yep, back when I was getting my paint issue resolved, we saw the same thing (but not as bad) on all of the 370's on the lot. They even said they saw the problem on a few Cube's. In all those cases though there were probably only 1-4 spots on each panel (metal only), versus mine which had them all over each panel (metal only still).

There must just be some "bad batches" out there, because there are many people on the forum that say theirs do not have any sort of clear coat issues, other than the normal () orange peel.

well-still waiting on the car....
I talked to an exec at Nissan this morning. The bondo dust INSIDE my car was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
He wants me to pick up the car and call him immediately. he said since the spots are of unknown origin and we do not know when it happened....they cannot replace the car for me(i suggested they sell this one as a demo and give me a new one at this point). My attorney friend I have here in town said when you sign the contract from Nissan, you agree to their arbitration method, etc.
So-all i can do at this point is inspect the car when it is cleaned up-call this exec back and go from there. I see both sides of the story-just thing they should throw this dog a bone! LOL at least i still have a sense of humor....

The finish on my 2009 Black Z looks great. But, I baby the crap out of it. Its never taken in until I either wash it and follow with Megquires Ultimate Detailer or just use the detailer everytime bringing the car in and put under cover. At times i see a swirl and just use a cleaner/wax, then Megquires Quik Wax and then the Ultimate Detailer. Use the best cloths . After 2 years now these don't bother me as if it were new Z anyway but i fully understand.
