However, this is not only a Honda issue. Modern enviormentally friendlier paints are weaker than older paints.

For example, I was also looking a Merc A-Class when buying the Civic.
Looking at the bonnet of 1-year old second-hand cars in the show room was interesting - loads of touch up on every one.
It begs the question of what sort of paint do high end manufactures like Beamer's, lexus's, Jag's use. I can not imagine their customers tolorating this nonsense. Unless the manufactures cake on the paint for higher end cars they must still be using enviroment UNfriendly paint
