I picked up a Multi-coat Red Model Y on February 13th. It came in great condition. The gaps were consistent (within 1mm at least) and the paint looked stunning. I took the car home and dropped it off for a full frontal PPF and tint the following week.

I've been driving the car for the past month and half and while the paint still looks great from 3-5', if you get up close and catch a reflection of the clear coat... there's tiny scratches EVERYWHERE. I've noticed the door handles have a BUNCH of what looks like nail/finger marks from trying to grab the handle. These appear to be just in the clear and definitely something that could be corrected, but OMG I can't believe how many "marks" I've found after only a month.

I assume this is why folks ceramic coat their cars? Or...will ceramic coating even protect against that?

Either way, I'm glad the car looks great from 5' but I'm a little let down on how easily this clear coat gets scratches.
