Not at all, the bike was used in the woods and to take golf clubs to the driving range and as a college commuter and lately as a live in the back of my car as an after work bike since I got it as a teen nearly 20 years ago, I'd need bottles of nail polish to take care of all the dings and scratches!

The results so far are wonderful, though. Really made the original burgundy paint go from a dull faded look to shiny and brilliant and bright, and as I mentioned earlier I love retaining the "character" of the past two decades!
