It looks like it is a soft not fully cured clear coat. Now I need to figure out if I can ceramic coat it.
I took my 550OT to by bodyshop buddy and he told me pretty much this. the clear coat is very soft and is ment to absorb potential scratches and dings. This is why i decided to just PPF the entire vehicle. Not sure about you guys but at delivery of my 550 there was some Lexus wax that was included.
Agree on PPF. IMHO, PPF will provide better scratch and ding resistance over clear coating over the long term.

My detailing buddy says this is bullsh*t as no clear coat is self-healing. Personally did PPF on the front clip & ceramic coated the whole truck.
Please see Toyota's news report that came out on Sept. 29, 2009 regarding the self healing clear coat. This should clear up any confusion.

TMC Develops Highly Scratch-resistant Clear Coat | Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website
TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION announces that it has developed a clear-coat paint with self-restoring qualities that is highly resistant to surface scratches usually caused by car wash brushes or fingernails.
Sounds like your detail buddy needs to educate himself.
