I bought mine new last year. Paint is soft but not a problem for me. I just wash it and hand dry it with microfiber towel. I have not yet used liquid glass or even wax. I get lots of compliments on bike's looks. Just be careful not to scratch it or use rough rags on it. Maybe some batches of paint are worse than others, I don't know. But paint is of no issue to me.

The bike in the pictures was just washed with no wax or liquid glass on it and is about a year old with about 16,000 miles on it.
I bought mine to ride and not for show, but I think it looks great, too!
