All solid advice, following along. I just got a 2014 pearl white Z, and fortunately, it did not come with the best dealer option around - swirls. I will opticoat it and put a clear bra on it before taking it out though. How is the 370Z paint quality overall? I am coming from a 2013 Wrx, pearl white, and man, you even look at that car, it gets paint chips on the front end, drove me nuts.

Generally, Nissan's paint tends to be on the soft side. The "quality" isn't bad, but it's not going to hold up well in real-world conditions.

Opti-coat and a clear bra will solve 99% of your environmental problems.

yah my 10yr old G looks brand new still besides the very tiny chips i got on the front bumper and rockers. could've prevented those with clearbra.

but i cant see them from a few feet away so i dont care. nissan paint isn't as bad as people say. most just dont know how to care for it. (or just defective from factory).
