Has a couple of scratches from someone loading cargo or just being careless, but you can't see that here either. Swirl marks are evident if you look at all closely, I'll work on those later. Door sills/jambs match perfectly with the outside paint.
I shined it up today with a can of that $5 Meguiars cleaner wax before the pics.
It's not perfect, especially up close. Some glitches, chips, and some road tar that I didn't get off yet. But for the miles, assuming it's the original paint (which I think it is) I think they did something right in Bowling Green. And props to the previous owner as well.

Late night thought: Drive the dang car, for Pete's sake. Put some miles on that puppy. Parking is expensive.
OK, gotta get to work in the am.
Very nice 
gotta love that torch red with chrome wheels
