Toyota has developed a clear-coat paint with self-restoring qualities that is highly resistant to surface scratches usually caused by car wash brushes or fingernails. Unlike a conventional clear coat, Toyota’s newly developed coat is not easily damaged and can even restore itself even if it is deformed. Moreover, it requires no special maintenance, prevents luster degradation caused by surface scratches and helps to prolong new-car color and gloss. The new coat features an ingredient that encourages closer molecular bonding, resulting in a denser structure than conventionally possible. This gives the coat flexibility and elasticity, making it less prone to damage and more resistant to light and acid, and giving it the ability to self-restore after deformation. Toyota plans to use the coat on the soon-to-be-upgraded Lexus LS. This is great news for black car lovers. You guys know how I am with paint. This put a HUGE grin on my face. ---

I thought so. It was like electrostatically charged so the bonding between the molecules of paint was stronger than most paints and over time the paint would actually pull itself back together over minor scratches ---
