The towel was brand new but so what, wiping dirt with a towel is going to scratch your paint. :shakes head:

One grain of sand on the sponge or fancy towel is going to snatch the ego!

Yeah, I hear you. It's just SO frustrating - I mean a brand new towel putting scratches into the finish? It's almost laughable. What's even worse is my friend brought his depth gauge over and took readings from the trunk lid and the hood - the readings were anywhere from 60-70 microns, which is ridiculously thin. So, I'm not even sure that it's feasible to repair what damage there is. Otherwise I would just repair it and throw a clear bra on.

Is it really like this for all colors, or is black just especially bad?
am i the only one who is freaked out that you're using a depth guage to measure the paint? Brother you gotta not worry so much and let that go.

True, but if you're just a little careful with your towels that doesn't happen. Has never happened to me.

The best way to avoid that is small towels. I don't use any big towels, just have a stack of small ones.

I agree……it’s just a car, eventually you will have another new and better one and hopefully you will learn not to stress on that one!!

If you check this guy's posts over the past year, you will see that he is OCD to the max. He puts towels on his seats so they "won't get scratched". Replaced his front bumper due to chips. Freaked out because he scratched his grille with his fingernail. Has a scrape underneath his car that is freaking him out. Has eight pinhole marks on his wheels that are freaking him out. Washes his wheel-wells.
He bought a black Z after his friends warned him not to 'cause of his OCD-ness. His friends know him well. :icon14:

^^ He has friends!

What about a vinyl wrap??.....you can choose ANY color and it will cost about $2500

i thought you're not supposed to wipe your car with a new towel. Most of them say to wash it before using.

What can I say? I have an OCD problem, at least I admit it.

Are you guys saying that these scratches, nicks, etc. wouldnt bother you?
