Is the Oshan X7’s paint more prone to visible scratches compared to other SUVs?

I’ve noticed swirl marks and light scratches on the body of my X7 after routine washes. Even brushing against bushes leaves marks. Is the paint softer than average, o r does it have a thinner clear coat not suited for Pakistan’s dusty and rough environment?

Yes, many owners have observed that the paint and clear coat on the Oshan X7 can be:

Soft o r thin, making it more vulnerable to swirl marks, especially during dry cloth cleaning o r low-quality washes.

Less resistant to micro-abrasions from dust, roadside plants, o r even jackets brushing against the surface.

Reasons in Pakistani conditions:

Dust and pollution particles act like sandpaper if rubbed during washing.

Use of detergents o r non-microfiber cloths at car washes causes scratches.

Prevention:

Use a ceramic coating o r paint sealant to add a protective layer.

Only wash with soft microfiber cloths and pH-neutral car shampoos.

Avoid dry wiping your car.
