going on three years, and since she's an DD, I get 'em all the time. But I take her to the ding doctor and give her a good ol' fashioned Adam's detail twice a year,which helps, but she's ALWAYS gonna have dings, dents and scratches as long as I drive her daily...
I do plan on taking her to carsmetics and getting the whole nine yards (they do detailing, scratch and ding removal, etc..heard nothing but wonderful things about them) when she's paid off and I can park her in the garage and I have another vehicle (probably a pickup) as a DD..

This is her 3rd summer and no dings or scratches, mind you she has only 4100 miles on her.

All over. I relaxed my crack about it. Live in city, DD, 39K since last year. Do what I can to prevent, IE clear bra, bumper bully, don't park near others, threaten people with murder.

The paint sucks. No question. Unacceptable.

Scratches - Previous owner curb it so there are a couple on the bottom of the front bumper but you can't see unless you crawl under. No visible scratches anywhere else.

Dings/Dents - None. Dealer may have PDR'd before I bought but there are zero now.

Chips - too many to count. But been covering up w/ paint kits & added splash guards.

2010 w/ 35k miles.

Two door dings, three good scratches and 2 gashes on the bumper from rocks. Some small scratches as well.

2 years, 22,000 miles. Any scratches I've incurred have been so minor that my PC wiped them out without a problem, and I *HAD* the ever famous "middle door crease" dent but PDR removed it 100%.

My only major flaw are rock chips (of course) and some minor swirls, which I also knock out once a year with a finishing polish.

About 50 on the drivers rear quarter. The 2 year old decided to draw on it with a flat head screw driver while I was washing the passenger side this last weekend.
