Rivian Clear Coat EXTREMELY Soft..?

[ssbmx90]

Do any of you have professional experience with detailing, paintwork, PPF?

I’m curious on your expertise regarding Rivian’s clear coat. I picked up a new R1T April 2nd and wow the paint was trashed. I had them detail it and when I got it home for ceramic coat I noticed how what I believe to be “Extremely Soft” clear coat.
On the spoiler alone, I can lightly, I mean lightly barely touch the spoiler in straight line with scratches to follow.

the body doesn’t appear to be as soft, but still easily scratch able.

I'm not an expert on anything you just posted, but would the spoiler have clear coat on it? Doesn't seem like that or the blackened pillars would.

On the R1T he spoiler is high gloss plastic. I’ve only ever touched it with a horse hair brush or microfiber when washing. No scratches on mine. It’s probably not a good idea to rub it when hot.

I couldn’t even tell it was plastic, I’m dumb. That makes much more sense. I know the B pillars have the garbage piano plastic like Tesla did inside back in the day but didn’t know the front fascia/roof panel and rear spoiler was simialr.

My truck was at the Burbank service center the last week or so getting work done on it and picked it up this afternoon . I just noticed the clear coat peeled off on the hood. I will take more pics in the daytime but has anyone experienced this? I know they washed the truck— couple that have had something to do with it? I opened up a service ticket either way.

This just happened to mine but... after install of PPF and on the corner of the front fender. Small spot but concerned to pull it off and it revealing more.

I'm interested in learning how you took care/resolved this AND how satisfied you were after? Paint match etc..
