I have no bitch with opposing views but I think many FG buyers are in for one Helluva surprise when they find the "modified clear coat" becomes shiny in spots when they try to wash or maintain the paint surface.
We will know soon enough when the handwringing begins.

To no one in particular...IMO, a very low pressure rinsing of the FG paint followed by a blow dry may be the only way to reach minimum threshold of scratching peculiar to paint care; no fabric, no wax, no polish, nothing, zilch, nada but H2O and O2 to prevent owner-occasioned blemishing. Just say NO to the wand, clay bar, wax-polish kit.

All kidding aside, it's a clever "color", but not one that I'd consider for a drive in either traffic (think metro rush hour) or any day when the weather was anything less than glorious.
