Hyundai solid white paint.... is this a hard paint ?
I'm working on a Hyundai Veracruz this weekend and it got me pretty confused.....
Being used to work on very soft paints here in Brazil I first tried:
I'm using a Dewalt 849x with a dynabrade head set to Dual Action (so it's basically working as DA with 1200 watts motor to push it.... and pretty heavy btw)
6.5" Black pad + PO85RD.... lot's of swirls left....
6.5" Black Pad + M205.... less swirls but still many...
5.5" LP Tangerine pad + M205... less swirls but still many...
5.5" LP Tangerine pad + M86... still some swirls left
5.5" LP Tangerine pad + M105... almost perfect, but still some RIDs around... swirls are mostly gone...
I decided not to push to a Cyan or MF Pad in order to keep finish in check to avoid a 2nd polishing step. (it's a white paint after all)
The thing is... I've never needed to go this far to correct some swirls on a paint and I was told here that the Hyundai paint is a soft type paint... the car is almost new, so it's not a repaint job.... 100% original paint....
What do you guys think about it ?

I wasn't aware of this new hard paint from Hyundai... I'm also pretty surprised to see it came to Brazil.... Maybe we import this car from Mexico and it might be the same you guys get up there, but I don't know.... just a guess.
Thank you very much for the link.... I guess I'll need to learn some new tricks very soon.

Forgive the dumb question, but if the paint is super hard then why does it get defects so easy? Or does it?
I see swirls everywhere!!!

Hard paint tends to resist swirls more, but the front of the vehicle will tend to "chip" or get road rash easier. Just look at the front of any recent dark color BMW on a car with 75k miles or more. Road rash everywhere. Both paints have their advantages / disadvantages.
I clear bra'd mine. Still looks good after 36k miles

The color of White paint is in general hard, as most manufactures use single stage because white is so hard.
