Self healing clean coat vs. small scratchs

I picked up my 2010 g37x coupe on friday. and ive already noticed a new tiny scratchs here and there. as well a few scratchs equally as fine, but quite long on the drivers side door panel. Im wondering if the self healing coat is able to deal with there, or if im gonna have to deal with them myself. Any feedback would be great!

The 2010 models do not have the scratch shield paint. You should take it to a detailer to see if they can take care of it.

na not nail scratchs, there just very fine scratchs, its too tough to take a picture right now, with spring and everything i cant keep the car clean long enough to take a picture. the scratchs are just like those in a swirl mark.. just not as many. My question is, to get rid of them, will some polish and a mf towel do the trick?

Yes, only the 09s received it. I've seen them successfully heal light swirl marks, but nothing more than that. It does take time and heat to actually work. Summer heat and sun will make the clearcoat more "fluid" and fill in the imperfection to the clearcoat.
