wow is our paint really this soft?

had the car parked in the garage under some bright lighting today, I was looking at a small scratch on the hood and ran my finger nail up and down the scratch to see if its just a surface scratch or deep enough where I can feel it.

well damn, this cause a surface scratch and woudnt come off after cleaning and wiping. Really I was just running my nail slightly up and down and it end up leaving this small mark...errrrr

upon further inspection under bright lighting I think Im getting OCD and might get a DA buffer soon.

We all are a bit OCD. I am just the same. I have two tiny knicks on the windshield from ice chunks that flew off from a mini-van.People need to clean off the vehicles. It's driving me nuts. how do I fix this ?

same thing happened to me, but it was from rocks. to make things worse the chips are right in front of the drivers side. so every time i drive i see a little crack in front of me.

Crimson Red and Jet black are soft, everything else is rock hard. I look at my car and it gets swirls and scratches
