I ask cuz I've owned my car for about a year fresh off the showroom floor with 47 miles on it and now my paintjob is all fucked up. You can see microscopic scratches all over it and I bugs the shit out of me! I don't see that on other cars that are older than mine, anyone knows whats up with that? Its black BTW is that like a hard paintjob to take care of or what? Holla back please! help me fix this problem

Just get that scratch filler shit, like this http://www.asontv.com/products/995328091.html. But as epoxy said, some come with clear coat which helps protect the final layer of paint. I would think that your car most likely didnt come with it since it came off the showroom floor. They must have thought the car wasnt going to go anywhere out side, so they didnt have to worry about tiny scractches.

depending on the scratch you can usally polish them out, afterall polishing is just a bunch of little scratches in the paint or metal or anything.

actually, nissians come with bad quailty paint. best and cheapest thing you should do is buy every zaino product. Wax, buff, your car with all these products and it should take care of those little scracthes. do a good job sicne your car is black...hope that helps

get it a good wax/ polish job and that should do it. When you wash your car do you use a shammy or do you use a regular towel? that will make all the difference right there.

black shows the lil scratches more then probably any other color, I'd suggest any color besides black. It shows every lil ding and dent, and you see swirl marks from washing it and shit, which rubs lil fine rocks and sand over it. Get it polished or polish and wax that shit, regularly.... all cars have scratches though, if they're too bad to polish out you can wet sand it and get some extra clear coat put on.
