So I guess it's not so hot if they are not putting it on any 2010 Infiniti's. What's wrong with it for them to stop using it?

Instead of "scratch shield" it should be called "scratch magnet"



I hate my paint. I wish I could make Infiniti repaint my car.

I'm real happy with the paint on my '09 G37X. A couple of times I know I put in a couple of fine scratches while drying it (from my bracelet) and came back out to try to see if I could buff it out or something and they were gone. I really think it DOES work on fine scratches!!!

Then why have they stopped using a good thing after only 2 years?

How do we know it won't be on the 2010? Do you have a link?

I have a couple rock chips around the headlights and fenders that I simply need to touch up. Otherwise not a scratch or dent (well, there are a couple small dents on the roof you can see in certain lighting scenarios due to hail). I'm real glad I invested in the clear bra

I learned my lesson from my Maxima

All scratch-proof paint seems to be a magnet for even the tiniest hairline scratches from car washes! Its ashame I fear brushed car-washes but when I'm out of town sometimes its all i can find.

About your rock chips, have you tried to shop online for a retailer? The paint tends to be higher quality and a little less expensive to boot... shop around. http://www.touchuppaintonline.com/infiniti/g35

I'll simply touch them up with the 2-stage touch-up paint. No biggie.
