I have a few other scratches on the back of my car as well from nails it looks like opening the trunk...i hope they can be buffed out but they look much deeper than the ones from a cat constantly digging his claws in my moms vehicle..what gives?

The paint on this car blows... it may deter me from buying another Infiniti in the future... unless the M series have a better paint or something...

Yep X2, The pathetic paint is something that'll make me look at another brand next time around. This is my 2nd G and both had seriously fragile paint.
I know Hyundais have stronger better paint, and BMW, Audi, MBs paint is FAR superior. I have yet to find another car at Infnitis price point w/ such weak paint.

I have to admit the paint job on my old beater '96 Explorer 5.0L AWD has held up nicely. I drive it almost every other weekend over a mountain pass so it has gotten lots of abuse over the years from rocks and sand in the winter. I bought it new. I think it has more rock chips on the windshield than on the hood. :-)

Please don't waste all that money on a complete paint job..just paint the sections that need it. I did that on my old grand prix. Took the rear quart panel off and repainted it.
