I hear people talking about how scratch sensitive their paint is, and I always think of this car. I've worked on this car since the day it came out of the paint booth, and it has been a pain in my "you know what"! No offense Coach ;)

You guys that gripe about your scratch sensitive paint need to come detail this thing, you will be happy to have what you have :D

These are not smudges from fingers, they are actually fingerprints that are scratched into the clear. Yep, perfect fingerprint SCRATCHES! This is where someone has closed the hood, and you can see exactly where they put their hands. I have to use brand new microfiber towels on this car when I'm polishing the paint and use ZERO pressure, and it still scratches the finish.

I heard maaco bakes there cars after paint. Thats a good thing. Maybe the painter mis read the paint and didnt mix enough hardner. Just my 2 cents........

That's the only logical reason I can think of.


That's ridiculous. I'd be getting a new paint job, or all hell would break loose.
