2011 EX35 - SCRATCH SHIELD

[canuck99]

There's been a lot of debate on whether the newer EX35's have 'Scratch Shield'....

I was checking the oil today on my 2011 EX35 and found a sticker on the inside of the hood that says "SCRATCH SHIELD - Use only approved refinish materials.". I assume this means Infiniti is still using Scratch Shield!

Great find....no one else has mentioned this as far as I know. I found that same sticker underneath my hood as well, drivers side. So I wonder what exactly is the approved product??

I would interpret this as using the same Scratch Guard for repairs....


The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., has approved CeramiClear™ D8105 Scratch Resistant Clearcoat from
PPG Automotive Refinish for the refinish repair of its new Scratch Guard paint system.

Nissan introduces self-healing "Scratch Guard Coat" paint
By Evan Blass posted December 2nd 2005 2:15PM

The engineers at Nissan seem to have been swept up by those annoying pre-Thanksgiving Hulk promos on USA, as they've just announced a new kind of paint infused with a special resin that heals itself from scratches a la that green monster with a heart-of-gold. Although we doubt that cars coated with this new tech would weather a nuke as well as the Hulkster did, Nissan claims that most scratches will disappear in a day to a week, and that compared to regular paint, this new super-paint only suffers one-fifth of the damage from car washes. Marketed as "Scratch Guard Coat" (they better hope it works better than rustproofing), the new paint will debut in the near future on an unnamed SUV.
