I have the spats on front/rear wheels wells.
With 1300 pleasure miles on the car, I am beginning to notice long fine scratches in clear coat under direct sun light - specifically near upper rear break vents, along leading edges of front fenders, and top of doors. I actually only get a few on rear quarter panels. I also have some rash on lower break vents, but that is limited to the plastic inlets.
These all appear no deeper than swirl marks. I wash with Griot products and always do soap/rinse before even touching car with wash mitts. I occasionally do Griot spay on wash, but apply it liberally use many 1/4 folder microfiber towels with light upward wiping motion. The car been water washed 3 times, and spray on washed once, in last 6 weeks.
Hence, I don't think it is from washing. A cleaner wax appears to remove or obscure most of these marks at least for a few weeks.
Should these polish out - with a more rigorous hand polish or orbital polisher?
In term of protection, does it make sense to do a professionally applied ceramic coating or stick with more traditional sealants and waxes?
What about waxes that layer/fill, like Griot best in show?
I am hesitant to apply something like liquid glass myself, especially without professional paint correction.
Does anyone just do an annual detail, and wait until get deeper sratches and do wet sand?
I plan on keeping car 3-5 years minimum. I want it to look good for me, and not require repaint at trade in or if keep it longer. I kept my first vette 8 years, and previous one about 2.5 years.
Do these upper body marks come from rocks kicked up by tires, or debris in air - especially at speed
