I go through about 12 different forums, most of them different types of cars, and everyone from Ferrari to Honda complains about their paint being soft. The best option you have is to get a clear bra installed when you first get it and then it wont be an issue.

I completely agree. I talked to Porsche owners and they complain the same thing about the paint.
Years ago, all car manufacturers used lead in the paint. That's why paint in the old days was as hard as enamel. In recent years, the EPA requires lead to be removed from all auto paint so now you have a very thin layer of paint on your car.
