Är det detta du syftar på, där det står att det bara är en riktlinje och inte alls behöver vara korrekt?
Perhaps the two most frequently asked questions that the blog authors receive are: (1) “How do I know if the paint is soft or hard?”, and (2) “What’s the best combination to use on my hard/soft paint?”. Well, the first question is relatively easy to answer, but the second is not.
First of all there are a lot of trends from the manufacturers that we learn through experience in terms of paint hardness. We have come to learn that manufacturers like Audi, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes typically have hard paint, and Honda/Acura, Toyota/Lexus (most Japanese manufacturers), and Porsche have soft paints. As for the American manufacturers…they’re all across the board from soft to hard and can vary from factory to factory even when dealing with the same car. But these are merely guidelines because while most colors from BMW for instance would be hard paint, their Jet Black is very soft (most companies have at least one car / color that are on the other end of the spectrum than the rest). And the manufacturers can change their paint from year to year, so just because a certain paint code from one manufacturer is really soft for several years, it doesn’t mean that ALL years of that exact paint code/name will be that way. Just to repeat…these are merely guidelines and there are many, many exceptions which is why a thorough test section on each car needs to be performed to determine just how hard or soft a paint is and to establish your proper combination for paint correction.
So the answer to the first question can be handled in two ways. The first is by experience, and knowing a particular car / color / year and how the paint typically reacts. The second is by doing a test section to figure out how the paint is reacting. If you first try a light polish / pad combination and it barely makes a difference at all, then you know it’s a hard paint and you need to work your way up in terms of aggressive combinations to find out what’s going to give you the best cut and finish.
