Well, yeah... Nothing is going to protect the paint if you don't properly maintain it, you're correct. I'm not saying any product is bulletproof but, from experience, it is much easier to maintain and keep paint looking good with the coating. It's not going to make scratching the car impossible but it is harder to lightly haze/swirl the paint this way. Therefore, it is worth the investment for a consumer that's not wiping the car down with a towel dropped in the mud.
