My definition of "scratch" is anything that will not buff out. I've owned three black cars and have swiffered stuff off all of them to no permanent ill-effect. Altho, I also cover them with Zymol Vintage from the detailer (60% carnuba) twice a year so I'm not to worried about even touching the paint with a swiffer.
Realistically speaking tho, my car's a daily driver, not a show car or a weekend ride. I have no illusions as to the damage it'll take over time. If anyone really wants to take the extra time to keep their car as pristine as possible (and don't drive it often), then by all means skip the swiffer. For me tho it quickly reaches a point of diminishing returns in the time spent maintaining the car's condition vs. the time spent on the road getting it all dirty again.
