I'm starting to wonder if this car has the infamous self-healing paint which is one of the worst paint systems ever invented and put on a car.
Go to Google and type in,
self healing paint infinity
Or type in,

Swirls on '08 Infiniti G37s - Self-Healing Paint ?
Ooops, typo. Car is a 2008 G35. I have read about the "self healing" paint. Somewhere I read that the self healing properties are gone after about 3 years. After that I imagine it would be like regular cc. I did polish with M205 with success when I bought the car in February.

Also it is my understanding that after 3 years or so, the self healing aspect of the clear is gone. I have been able to use M205 with success on this car.
If you're using M205 without problems then my guess is it's NOT a self-healing paint or you would probably see mico-marring from the M205

That's a good though-train, looks like your car's paint simply doesn't like the BF Paint Cleaner. IF the M205 is working, then stick with it and after using it seal the paint. Then wash carefully.

A Guru on an Infinity G35 discussion forum could probably give you accurate information.

That is one reason I'd consider using a paint cleaner, or non-abrasive paint polish myself. The paint on my Jeep is too thin to mess around with!
Like Mike said above, it could be that self healing paint.
On a side note, I had a small issue when using this product. On one car, no issues. Next car, a slight hazy film was left behind. Took care of it with some rinseless. More details here -> Review: BLACKFIRE Paint Cleaner

It's a 2008 black G35. I read somewhere that after 3 years or so the "self healing" (if I have it) properties of the clear would be gone. At that point I would think the clear would be like any other CC.

Thumbs up on the M205. Took the haze and fog out with no problem and left a finish ready for sealant.
