I have lived in this area for 3 years now. I have a lightning, and had a camry. Those vehicles were mine and my wife's daily driver. On a rare occasion, we would find very small rock chips. Maybe 2-3 over the course of three years. I cleaned the vehicles every week, so I was very familiar with the paint.
Since we got our 06 GT about 3 weeks ago....there are rock chips...some almost a hlaf inch long in the front, the hood, and the side...all the way down to the metal. We havent driven anywhere new, we have driven the same routes. It seems as if this paint is REALLY soft and has no 'armor' against any kind of road debris. I have the 'paint protectant' from Ford on there (giving it away free as a special when I bought the car). Just wondering if anyone else has noticed more chips and scratches than normal in their new GT.
