rim polish
The Kizashi's paint is infamous for being crappy. However, it's apparently the darker colors like red, black, and blue that are problematic. I also have a black car and agree that the clear coat is pathetically thin and the paint chips easily. After every car wash, I go over the hood and fenders with my touch-up paint. The hood deflector helps prevent hood paint chips and it's the main reason I got one for this car.hhh5115 wrote:How is everyone's paint job? My kizashi is black and I feel like the clear coat was trash.
I just find it sad because the paint of this car is actually beautiful as it's a black metallic. However, you can hardly appreciate the paint color when the clear coat is easily scratched on top and simply dulls the finish and hides the brilliance of the actual paint.
I bought a dual action polisher so I'm going to polish the car sometime soon. I'll keep you posted on how it improves the swirled clear coat of my car.

Don't bother getting it from the dealer. They probably won't even have it in stock. I bought it from this website and the color is a perfect match.
