Default USB 2.0 scratch

Is it easier to scratch the USB 2.0 paint?

Is it normal to see this when the car just a few weeks old w driving on normal roads?

What is the best way to prevent or remove this fine scratches?

Those scratches aren't normal. Perhaps u have a pet? Either way some wet sanding and polish should take that right off.

Definitely not normal..my USB 350 still looks great 6 months old. Looks like a cat or some other animal may have walked on it

Yep that looks like a pet.. It should buff out no problem. Take it to a pro though.

As for protection going forward, get a clear bra installed. There are places that can do the entire hood and front end for you. It will prevent any stone chips from occuring too.
