Crying after 2 weeks

I wish I knew
Checked all around garage and don't see anything
Don't know what happened, don't know whether to bother putting the ceramic coating on now
So pissed, less than 700 miles on my car

I agree- my then NEW 7th gen got smashed in a parking lot 4k worth damage, body shop took care of it looked like never happened. I'm sure this can be fixed up.

Check with local dealers and body shops - they usually know the good detailers in your area.

Try this - Clean the area first then apply toothpaste and gently scrub it with a scotch brite pad (green side) and almost all the scratches will disappear, once you are done the area will look much better than what it looks now and may even be able to fix it with a bit of a touch up paint. I did this on my previous car (Acura TL ) and it works.

Update: Brought to the detailer this morning he said best fix is to repaint quarter panel if he touched it up since it's a tri coat you'll be able to see the defect more.
Went to see sales manager at the dealer to see whether he would maybe give me some free touch up paint and they're going to repaint the quarter panel free of charge
Wow huh

Repaint it free of charge?! Wow. That's impressive since they are obviously under no obligation to do that. That's hard to believe. Good for you!

Final Update:
No longer tears of sadness!!
Tears of joy!!
My car looks great can't even tell the scratches were ever there!!
Fantastic job by the dealership, and I am having the coating put on beginning of next month
The body shop said they baked it, so the detailer said I could coat it after two weeks, but that sounded too soon to me

I have loved all generations of the Maxima, but must admit that one BIG reason I stick with the Maxima is because my Nissan dealer has been the best dealer I have ever worked with, and I have been driving since the 1940s (yes, I am old and gnarly, and switched from ordering 'senior drinks' to ordering 'geezer gulps' and 'senile sips' at restaurants decades ago).
