    Repainting some scrapes or scratches on the rear bumper of the G37 / Nissan Skyline

    The OEM paint is scratch shield. I made some small scrapes / scratches around the edge of the rear bumper near the rear tire. A Nissan dealer said they can do either of the two: replace the entire bumper with the factory scratch shield paint on it or repaint that affected area and cover...

    Caring for Scratch Shield paint

    I am awaiting a delivery of my new 2009 Nissan Skyline 370GT (in North America, it is the Infiniti G37) in black within 2 weeks or so. The car is painted with Scratch Shield paint. Is there any special issues I need to be aware of when I wash, prep, polish, and wax it?

I am trying to decide on which one I should apply next. The first application was TRIZ on the day 2...

    What to do if you don't use a full tank about 2 or 2 1/2 months?

    I have a garage queen which I drive when it is nice out and the roads are dry. Since I am busy with works, I don't see my car most of the time except for Sat or Sun (I drive a company car). So, I don't use up a full tank of gas up to 2 months or 2 1/2 months. I put in fuel stabilizer during the...
