Did you buy it new? did you wax the car as often as you should've?

The paint chip is a well known issue with the 5th gen. It's incredibly easy for the paint to get chips. I think Nissan also knows the issue, but just lazy to do something about it.

When I got this 03 Maxima, the paint looked better than the Altima but I guess still not the best, but for $22k, hey I'm not complaining!
Where can I get one of these clear bars while my car is still chip-free?
