How well does the Changan Kalams body resist scratches from common causes like tree branches, keys, and rough cloth washing in Pakistan?

Some users report that even light contact causes visible marks on the cars surface. Is the paint and clear coat on the Kalam too soft for Pakistani conditions?

The Changan Kalam’s paint and clear coat layer appear relatively soft, based on user experience in Pakistan. Observations include:

Visible micro-scratches from dry cloth wiping

Marks from tree branches, bushes, o r even motorbike handle contacts

Rapid loss of gloss if washed with rough sponges o r tap water with mineral deposits

Hence, the paint quality, while acceptable, may not be tough enough for Pakistan’s harsh environment without extra protection.
