I have an 07 and I can see what he is talking about. My door handle haa 2 very minor scratches that are white like that, and the steering wheel also has some minor clear coat type scratches. All after 6 months I noticed it was happening and stopped using my nails to touch things. It was easy im a guy with short nails.

It might be more productive to find out what all those who have this problem have in common. What are your occupations? Are you exposed to harsh chemicals that might wind up on your hands? What hobbies do you have? How do you clean your car? Maybe the problem is a symptom of the driver and not a particular model year.

That is far more compelling than any activities taking place inside the car.

Perhaps the board would be more compassionate if they had the 06'+ lining materials in their car.

BRONZEE,
What do you mean you can vouch for the long nails?
I think we've also narrowed this problem down to the new lining which would be 06's. Not one person with an 03'-05' has encountered this since they have a different finish on their cars.
Please contact any 06' Z owners that you may know and ask them if they see anything similar to what you've seen here
Thank you

Check Blackhawk007's response. Also, I drive an 06 with 4K miles and no evidence of any wear of this type. I also stick by my initial observation that if wear is being found on parts coming from different suppliers its highly unlikely that they all supplied defective components to these particular Z's. Much more likely something is attacking the finish on the different parts.

Skeptical here. Apologies, but this is straight up abuse. Customer Abuse. The pictures are pretty clear cut.
Either that, or some hater wiped your car's interior down with nail polish remover.

In the end they had their way b/c acura will do just about anything to make their customer happy. Btw above was just an observation don't start that "omg thats racist bs".
