370Z paint durability

They use electrostatic paint that goes on extremely thin. If you look at the paint at a certain angle, you'll see a lot of "orange-peel". The GTRs are the same.

Japanese carmakers are known to have extremely thin coats of paint. If you check out Zymol wax (not the crap you get at Autozone, the expensive stuff) they have a wax specifically for Japanese cars.
