I've gotta chime in here since I'm a automotive detailing freak.

First, new microfibers should always be washed in hot water numerous times before use. Also, never toss them in the dryer with dryer sheets as the residue will stick to the MF towels and could introduce hairline scratches into the clearcoat.

Second, I have one of those water blades. I used it once on my paint 10 years ago and left some nasty scratches in the clear after a thorough car wash and rinse. The water blades or squeegees are great for glass, not so much on paint if you want your finish to remain scratch and swirl free.

Not trying to chastise you or anything like that man, just looking out since I know how soft Nissan's paint is!

I DD my car too much to care about the small things like that. My Z is FAAAAAAR from showroom and I've only had it since September.

Nonetheless, this is great info.

I'm slowly starting to care less and less

Working on the paint with the DA buffer and doing some correction is kinda therapeutic for me. Listen to some tunes and make her shine

You know, I completely understand that. I think I only care very little because of how much I drive. If it was within the realm of feasibility to take proper care of her paint, I definitely would too.

Blasted 495...you should see the drivers side of my front bumper...

Trust me, I know man! All the milling/paving on 286 last summer absolutely destroyed my front bumper. More pitted up than a teenagers face

I use Adams Polish system... It works for me...

The front of my car looks like it has been sand blasted due to the crap that nissan puts on the cars that they call "Paint" I have never had another brand of car look like the sloppy bucket of $hite that my two Zs looked like. The 370 is worse than the 350 if that is possible.
