The three vehicles were exposed to clothing, zips and plants with manually varied pressure.

AVP reported no zip marks on its treated vehicle. Without controlled force, repeated samples and measured baseline paint, this cannot prove superior scratch resistance.

Mud and simulated organic contamination were then wiped with damp cloths. Wiping dirty paint itself risks abrasion and should not be recommended as normal care.

All three appeared largely free from new marks in that observation. Part 3 records the historical conclusion and its limits.
