Hi all. just wanted to let people know i started to get this tiny dots under my clearcoat and they appear to be bubbles on my hood (prob 50 or so scattered) and a couple on the fenders and some around the car... i dont know if it's because the car is black and the summer heat prematurely damages the clearcoat but u can only see it if u go close up. it is just driving me nuts because i am very **** with my car. ive only had it for about 5 months (lease) and it shouldnt be doing this. i called up my infiniti dealer and am taking it in on friday and hope they will repair this (relay clearcoat or something) because it will only get worse. BLACK G37 owners beware ..check your car out more carefully to see if u have the same small bubbles on ur hood or fender. i am a meticulous fiend with my car and only handwash it with regular car soap and bucket so its nuts that the cars clearcoat does this.

 

post some pics if you can. if the car never been in an accident u can report it under warranty.

 

post pics please.

 

I should be able to post pics by fri or saturday since during the week i practically live with my gf in crappy manhattan because work is so close....

 

def never been in an accident. its ridiculous.. they are like very small clear bubbles all over the hood and some on fender and some all over the car.. i mean im **** and i see these things but if ur like more than 1 foot away from car and ur not leaning ovwer the hoood u cant see it but i know these things get worse ifu dont take care of them.

 

yeah need pics...I've never heard of this before nor does my OB suffer from this

and just a side note, you said you use regular soap and a bucket to wash, you should be using the 2 bucket method w/ grid guards if you are super **** and don't want to damage the paint

 

Maybe something to do with the self-healing clearcoat??

 

o sorry it is the 2 bucket method...

 

I have them too on my OB G. they where not there when I bought the car and I detail the car myself. I've been wondering about this for some time and believe its something to do with summer heat/humidity and fallout that creates it. Not sure what type of fallout whether its natural or industrial. But the clear coat on my 08 is garbage. Ill repaint the car a few years from now.

 

hmm XCALIBUR thank you.... gladim not alone... i mena im just worried its going to get worse plus the car is a lease so its better to let them know because i dont want to be held responsible orpay for it... im bringing the car i this friday. wonder what they will do..

 

What kind of bubbles?

I have mini specs in some places. It looks like overspray. Or light sap. But it won't come off or rub off. I'd love to get the car resprayed at some point too.

Maybe Cosmos black (from the M3) or some other metallic black that won't look too far off in places where won't get painted.

 

For me it looks like air in the bubble or some type of debri... And I'm the guy who waxes every six weeks.

 

Could it be a problem with the scratchshield? Did you leave it in the sun for a long period of time on a hot day?

 

the car is always outside and temperatures have been in the high 90s for the last 3 weeks which could be the cause but thats still no excuse.. it shouldnt be doing that. they pay NISSAN R&D Tons of money to figure out these problems. it has to be under warranty

 

Post some pictures.
