Default Liquid Platinum - Self Healing Clearcoat?

I seem to recall reading about Lexus incorporating LS self healing clearcoat for the new GS Liquid Platinum paint. Can someone confirm?

I know Infiniti's paints are supposed to be self-healing, but I don't see the scratches automatically going away on our Liquid Platinum G37 Vert.

Same for my wife's EX35 - nothing has healed itself. Or maybe it heals so fast I don't see it, and it's too worn out to heal the ones I see.

Looks like it's not offered here any more.

2010 LS should already have this clearcoat according to this article:

LOL, my g/f's G37 Vert has scratch marks under the door handles and I can never figure out how the hell they get there since the car has keyless entry and she only has to touch a button on the handle to open the door. Anyway, they never go away on their own. I always have to buff them out. "Self-healing", my ***.

My LS had those, also scratches on the roof from purses / packages being placed up there.
