<HTML>What do I do about this? I have a black G35 that had a portion of the vehicle repainted. This is the only part of the vehicle that is super sensitive, I mean super, super sensitive to scratching. If I go and dust the vehicle a day after it was washed, that area that was repainted develops a tremendous amount of surface scratches, whereas the unrepainted remains scratch free. I can take a microfiber towel and wipe, just one wipe, ever so gently over a repainted section of the vehicle and I can see scratches that were not there the second before I wiped, and as I do the rest of the vehicle there are no new scratches.</HTML>

<HTML>By all means take it back to the body shop. If the new paint scratches so easily and the rest of the vehicle doesn't, there is something wrong.

Microfiber isn't supposed to scratch a surface so that should tell you the body shop made an error. If they are reputable, they'll fix it.</HTML>

Take care,
