That leads me to the question, what was your first blemish on the Z and how did you deal with it?

First 24 hours - two chips on the hood. Don't know if it wasn't there before I picked the car up, but the dealer took care of it.

After I got that resolved (took about a month total), less than 24 hours later, I got a small nick in the front fascia near the Nissan logo. I left that alone. I had a detailer come in and give my car teh shine job it should have had when I picked it up originally, and they also found another nick in the front fascia by the passenger fang. I don't remember when I noticed this but there's also some light etching where I didn't get the bug guts off quite fast enough. I'm sure those would come out with a polish though...

Since then I've not noticed much...until the other day I found a chip at the corner-edge of the hood where it meets the passenger headlight housing - about halfway up the headlight housing. The housing seemed to take a bit as well as there's a small nick in that too.

The car is a chip / nick magnet....in fact, they should rename the color "Magenetic (for Road Debris, bugs and poo) Black"
