I don't think it's possible to keep this car in showroom condition no matter what you do. The paint is just ridiculously soft and fragile from the factory. I haven't even gotten to 1 year of ownership on a new car and it's already got significant chunks out of the paint all over, at least 90% of which happened on public streets and highways.


I'm having enough fun driving the crap out of it and the cost of the car vs the cost of getting it fully wrapped in Xpel or something means I'm not even going to worry myself about it. In 3 years or whatever, I'll probably disassemble the whole thing and get it all resprayed anyway.
