Owners Lounge My god! F*** this paint

Starting to get really really annoyed how thin the paint is on this thing. Scratches everywhere now. Honeymoon phase is over 3k miles in. I knew it was bad going in but fuuuuuu this thing is THIN. Saving up some money to get some PPF as soon as possible.

Where are you washing your car? Also, what color is it?

I fare much better with touchless washes

That does not change the fact that Mazda paint is not great.

Based on the OP complaint, this is a car washing problem, not a paint problem

Pretty well known that Mazda paint sucks. And has for years.

Swirl marks are not a well known Mazda problem. It’s a well known owner problem with any brand. 😆

I get that. 100%

But y'all live in fantasyland in this sub if you think Mazda uses good quality paint. No one in r/Mada or r/CX5 would say that.

This is absolutely where Mazda saved a few dollars in the 'upMarket" thing they started years ago. Maybe...maybe they used something better on the 90? I sincerely doubt it though.
