I just got my '04 a month ago, has 44.5K miles, no peeling yet. I bought it in excellent condition. BTW, I use a wash & wax with carnauba and works very well. The thing is I don't know if it protects the paint, does it? Anybody knows?

Just another minor fault in the Maxima...BUT there's a cheap and effective way to fix it.
Get a razor blade and carefully trim around the bubbled clearcoat so that you get it as close to where it's not bubbling as possible. After you do this just use a light coat of TOUCH-UP paint to seal it off!
Did this on my car and it works great...even though I will have to do it on more spots under the bumper soon
But better this instead of re-clearcoating the whole bumper (if there is such a thing)

Any back up to these claims?
I'm leaning toward the grille, but I can't believe someone hasn't said

My grille on my 05 was peeling too and i wondered about it,then i saw a post here where guys were debating if warranty covered it,the pics looked just like what was happening to mine and i only got 19000 on my 05,i took it in and got it replaced under warranty last week. So all in all pics helps a lot.
