Full Version: Coming Soon - Scratch-resistant Clear Coat
Is this kind of like the "self healing" paint that BMW was trying to develop, or is this a completely different approach?
Sounds like MB's ceramiclear.
Sounds like the Infiniti's self healing clear...
I researched the infiniti clear for a while (wanted to get some to clear my wood steering wheel with...) and apparently it's not as nice as it sounds. After 3 years or so, the clear loses it's 'healing' powers and becomes a pain in the bum to work on...
Maybe in 10 years they'll develop something like this that'll last longer.

Well it would sure make owning a black or dark car or suv much better. 
But you know what I can't understand is if Saturn was able to make body panels that resist dents back in like the 90's why haven't BMW, Lexus, MB and every other car company out there? When my wife was in school she had a Saturn and not that it was a great car or anything but that sure was a cool thing.

Its because the plastic panels lack body rigidity and its hard to make the paint match from plastic to metal...
