I would rate the Clear Coat on my Ford F150 as medium at best. I would definitely agree with Mercedes and Corvette being hard. I would be interested to see it any detailers on the forum have any experience with Lamborghini and what they think about the hardness of it's clear coat.

Thanks Gary. The clear on my mustang isnt probably medium at best too.

No problem.

Jaguar XK8 was extrememly hard, Saab 9-3 medium, Acura RSX was extremely soft, and an 03? Lexus RX300 I thought was pretty hard.

Perhaps you should modify it to
Toyota/Lexus (as their clearcoat will be the same)
Honda/Acura
Nissan/Infiniti

I've noticed that German cars have very hard clearcoat, as well as some domestic. Japanese cars seems to have their clearcoat soft. Not sure about Korean. By the way, nobody ever posted Hyundai/Kia detail. I guess owners of those cars don't really care about their finish...

I have a Mazdaspeed6 built in japan and the clearcoat on my car is medium. About the same as my expedition.

D&D- Thank you. Some of the info I knew or suspected. The list is very good to have.... perhaps it can be expanded and made into a sticky?
