SERVICE INFORMATION
Scratch Shield is a newly developed scratch-resistant clear coat which "heals" by itself when the vehicle gets a small scratch in the clear coat. If the
scratch reaches the color base coat, however, it will not "heal". Scratch Shield was implemented for the first time in the U.S. with the 2008 EX35.
All vehicles that have scratch shield clear coat carry a label which is typically located underneath the hood. See Figure 1.

that have been tested and approved by Infiniti.
