What makes VW paint so hard?

I've detailed a co-workers Passat and my sisters Beetle and was not only impressed with the fit & finish of both cars, but how tough the paint was.

Both cars were a few years old and have many highway miles. The amount of chips on both were almost nonexistant. And those chips that I did see still had a layer of paint underneath them, so they must be thick.

Compared to my car, I can practically scratch it with a fingernail. Since I need to get a repaint down the line to fix some accident damages what does VW add to get such a hard coat?
