Been using one for years, most I've had is some scuffing on the tailgate which I easily polished out, Surprised yours is actually scratched.

Ok maybe I was being a bit dramatic. Its not scratched per se, but a buff definitely won't get the marks out. The paintwork did look damaged over time

Taking it on and off is a PIA, so i'd prefer to leave it on

I think this is most likely why your damage is worse than others.

My guess would be a combination of the the VPS vinyl on the tailgate as well as one of those PEP grey blankets.

I hate this statement. Try live on a dirt road. You wash the car and load the tailgate pad. By the time you reach tar road it is dirty and dust is under there rubbing it.
