Covering the plastic plastic in PPF makes the micro sctraches disappear.I think you mean "Unfortunately, paint companies haven't found a good way of making high performance paint that isn't harmful to our ecosystem and particularly us humans, as a species." ... but I digress.
Yeah, my Mach-E looked like you might have expected it to look... like it had been bathing in a heavy pollution environment for a couple months (Mexico City), then hauled across the continent in the middle of winter, and finally dragged through a low-cost automatic car wash (all the shiny black plastic wasn't so shiny with lots of microscratches, especially the B-pillars and mirror pods). There were water spots all over it from either Ford, the transit, or the dealer using crappy water. It took me about 6-8 hours of polishing to get the paint and plastics back to shiny and then I put ceramic on everything. I will be applying PPF in the next couple weeks to help with rock chips.
It's not perfect, but it's almost back to where I would've expected a new car to be in the first place. It didn't help that I took delivery in the rain and couldn't tell that it needed a full day of detailing...
I can no longer see them, it's like magic.
