my dealer hasn't offered to do anything on mine and i have noticed lots of imperfections on it. including the scratches on the shifter and doors. they did a $hitty job detailing too, white wax everywhere...ugh. need to fix that this weekend.

did your aluminum look the same as it did before it was scratched up? i'm hearing this is a bad idea and will remove any clear coating leaving the metal vulnerable to moisture.

I got my G yesterday, just noticed that same scratch this morning. Maybe we should tell Infiniti to get the guy driving them around the port to take his rings off
