HELP MILLIONS of SCRATCHES

The clear coat is average - the VW's have an even softer clear. Its also give and take - the softer clears scratch easier but are more resistant to chipping.

The clear coat is average - the VW's have an even softer clear. Its also give and take - the softer clears scratch easier but are more resistant to chipping. However if you've got a rock flying at your bumper at 100+ MPH good luck.... The best paints seem to be the European cars esp German. But then again they are pretty good when it comes to chemical engineering. There are lots of other cars out there with the same average clear coat as our cars.

Oh and clay bar has nothing to do with taking scratches out - it takes impurities embeded in your clear coat out - its not used as an abrasive but almost like a tack cloth works on a dusty surface.
