Welcome to the forum. The body shop guy talked too much. It's easy to say "thin and soft" but compared to what? What usually happens is that little "rocks" get trapped under the ice sheet. I don't know of any paint job that won't get scratched in those instances.

The paint on mine is peeling & chipping-odd places where nothing would hit.I've had mud flaps on since day one.Has more spots than my 12 year old Cavalier!
