I may very well be imagining things but it seems to me that the scratches are not really scratches in that they are not permanent. I use Nextzett / einszett cockpit premium and a very soft microfiber towel and I seem to have very few of these "scratches" left. I have a few but they do not seem to accumulate like they should have if the surface was indeed as delicate as I feared. Anyone else feel this way ? I may just be bananas
