True, but since it basically goes away when wet, it's not below the color coat. Stop posting snappy replies about something you didn't bother reading.

So I washed off as much salt as I could over the weekend as temps here in the dirty jerz have reached above freezing. Those scratches that I have posted about the ice causing do dissappear for the most part when wet. You can sort of see them under the water kinda ghosting along but the water definitely darkens them. Here's to warmer weather when I can bust out the random O and have at it.

Don't worry (be happy)! There will be more over years
It's only the first one that is so painful, you'll get used to it
