Sorry for bumping an older thread but I wanted to ask about your experience with this paint.
I have an 08 GPW and I was surprised how soft the paint is. I put a shallow scratch in the paint with a light fingernail graze.

Based on this experience I plan to take it slow and use a soft touch to fix the surface. My car looks like it was run through a car wash often.
