Does every little scratch bother you?
 
Not sure if it's just me, but does every little imperfection on the car bother you, no matter how small? For instance, a rock or something must have kicked up and it put a scratch on the plastic grill part of the front bumper. Now mind you, it's impossible to see the scratch unless you are bent over looking at it from a few inches away. Despite this it hasn't stopped bothering me, to the point where I've actually contemplated replacing the bumper, lol. Maybe it's just a testament to how nice the car is that I want to keep it perfect, but I'm curious as to whether anyone else is like this with their 370.

not so much scratches as i haven't got any yet but rock chips. oh and i would freak the hell out if i got a door ding.

As soon as I get the car I'm planning on wrapping the entire car, so what to you think? :)

I always have some touch up paint on hand...if anything ill touch it up during my weekly detailing sessions. But if its a dent.....ill freak out.

short answer.. YES! thats why i have silver. doesn't show imperfection that easy

YES..everything that happens to the Z bothers me so badly! I have a 4 inch deep scratch on the hood, dent /missing paint under drivers door handle, 6 inch deep scratch on right fender. Oh..yea and a tiny hairline on the hatch. Thats just to name a few :( I blame it on the black paint since it shows everything; which is why I'm getting the car painted next month. I do know that all cars will have some kind of blemish but mine is crazy... no more parking next to anyone and no more car washes... needs to be done at home.

I got a door ding once, I almost got diarrhea when I discovered it. My paintless dent repair policy took care of it :)

Scratches, I usually buff out with polish.

Red370 02-24-2010 05:56 PM

The first one, i cried a little. Now its just like, oh well..

TX_370 02-24-2010 05:57 PM

Yes. They still bother me.

Each rock chip is like a stab to the heart.

gumpy 02-24-2010 06:10 PM

Hugoneus 02-24-2010 06:22 PM

Yes... Which is why I am getting the clear bra. Hopefully it will help.

KillerBee370 02-24-2010 06:26 PM

dings and dents bother me, but scratches, not so much.

LOL... if you really cared that much... and didnt want scratches / blemishes - you should NEVER go to a car wash... handwash it and detail her once or twice a year...

I have one TINY chip in the seam of the door / body (dont know how the fvck it got there lol)... and it pisses the crap out of me lol
