don't let them detail your car. they're going to massacre the paint. they arent going to clay it. they'll just polish and wax it and grind all the rail dust

Congrats on your new ride. I have to agree with Jeff on this one. They may not "massacre" it but they don't have experience and/or now how to do the job right. They may end up swirling the paint to some degree. I would cancel the detail and pick up your car right away and have a professional do the work. I operate my own detailing business and can speak from experience on this one. Also, find a detailer who comes recommended by someone you know. If not at least look at there work first, as their are a lot of hackers in this business. A new car prep shouldn't cost you too much $.

You also need to decide on the clear bra NOW. Don't wait just drive it strait to the shop that will do it before you get that first paint chip.
Otherwise just live with the crappy nissan paint. The only thing that you have going for you is that you can make the paint look very nice with an adams 3 step paint correction. I was going to get a clear bra but decided that I really liked the paint all polished up and decided that I would live with the paint chips...
