    new clearcoat

    i just read an article in Car and driver and it talked about a new "flexible" clearcoat that is put on over the normal base clearcoat. Apparently any scratches in the outside flexible layer automatically fill in when heat (sun) is applied to the coat. So basically any scratch in the outside...
