Only part that this is true is the tail gate upper & lower The rest has the industry standard thickness of dulux
Standard dulux depth of around 120um, where a heavy cut compound can be used no problems. The only issue and it's not a real issue is that the paint is soft (compared to VAG) and so can be corrected without too much aggression.
The soft paint is what allows the bramble rash to easily apprear of the car but relatively easy to remove. Your local 'detailer' ridgeback obvioulsy did not eaven inspect the car. Needing car cleaning or detailing products. Check my website then PM me for 10% off. Free delivery on orders over £50
