So I was following some A$$hat in some other type of Nissan, and i wasn't following too close or anything like that, but i could hear something being thrown up at the front of my car for about 10-15 seconds... So i immediately notice specks in my windshield then in my whole front area when i got home.. I think that guy must have had snow tires on or something, because now my car has a bunch of micro chips in it everywhere..
Anyway, this happened a couple weeks ago and i am unsure what to do about it. I live in Virginia Beach so Snow tires are not at a normal thing around here.
The scratches are thankfully under the front bumper fairing area, so it isn't noticeable to anyone other than me, when i was it. And when they delivered the car to me the night i took it home, there were already swirl marks in the hood from where the dealer guy detailed it.. I am not having any luck with this kind of issue already. ARRRG!!
My cube is already scratched and chipped!!!!

What colour do you have? My coupe is black (KH1) and it's by far the worst paint I've ever had. It's single layer and chips if you look at it angrily...hahaha

Yeah, that's the one. "Super Black" is turd-riffic...Best advice from me is to invest in some of that 3M clear protectant. It'll save you a helluva lot of headache with owning a car with that craptastic black paint.

Re: (KromCube)
It's a cheap-a**, single layer paint. Why you would ever have a black paint job with only one layer is quite beyond me. Within about five months (about 8000kms), the front end of my car had more visible chips in it than my last car which was five years old and had 60,000+kms on the clock.KromCube wrote:Whats all the hating on the Super Black???

Don't get me wrong though...I think it looks GREAT in black. I just think Nissan did a s***ty job giving us such a poor quality paint.
When I get my cube, it's gonna be the yummy triple-layer white paint they use on the Murano and the 370Z!
Re: (TBrack)
Yeah thats true, I agree with the paint job itself being bad, but black is the best color on the Cube!

Caribbean Blue Chipping?
Does anyone have this problem with the Caribbean Blue? Maybe I should invest in a bra or something?
Re: Caribbean Blue Chipping? (BrooklynZoo)
Clear vinyl is also good if you don't want a bra. But I don't know if it yellows or messes up the paint whe you peel it off.

Yeahh, I'm having the same problem! I'm from North Jersey and lately we have been driving around in heavy amounts of salt, so it kicks up and unfortunately leaving little specks and chips around the grill and bumper area. Any suggestions besides getting a car bra to fix the problem?
