The paint chips very easily on metal panels and it also dents, literally, on plastic panels such as bumpers. I originally was not really that bothered about it but I have more chips on my front bumper after 3,500 miles alone than my last car did and that had 36,000 miles on it and was soft black paint.

For most people, 1 coat of clear will not be a longevity issue even if polished bi-annually and apart from orange peel, is pretty glossy and the flake is very even.
