Somebody scratched my car today.

I got to say that the paint layer is not very thick and they haven't done much to protect it.

When I first got my rouge I made a little scratch, but I must have scratched my previous volvo s60 much harder before and it didn't leave a mark.

Somebody must have brushed up against my car with a bag or something and that's how it was caused.

It's not just Nissan. All newer cars have weak paint and clearcoat.

Nissan now uses a "hardcoat" clearcoat. Once the surface is scratched through, the mandatory water base paint is thumbnail soft. It is EZ to repaint but not as durable as the past.

It's useless paint. I'm so annoyed.
