Finally!! My own car! 2001 Mustang GT

[Whitethunder46]

Well, after practicing on my Dad's van, mom's car, friend's beat up '88 Tercel. I tried it out on my car today.

Only one panel (passenger side door), so I can really get a feel for what I need to use.

Process for the right side: XMT 3 on yellow pad. Still some decent scratches, so I tried XMT 2 and green pad. Again, some slight markings so I finished with XMT 1 and orange pad. Turned out flawless.

For the left side (not pictured) I did #3 with yellow pad followed with orange pad and #2 XMT. I tried to eliminate the middle step, but after working this in, there are still some very very slight markings left.

Out of the car's I've practiced on, my CC was pretty hard.

I am afraid I can't agree with you, Nick. My white Toyota Supra, that I sold shortly after I got the vette, had a soft clear coat. Very easy to work with. Vette is a nightmare. That being said, I don't think it goes by color, but by make or model....perhaps?

Just did a quick topping with AW. I'm more than likely going to try and tackle the rest of the car tomorrow. Then do the whole car with either DG 105 or Natty's.

I believe its the car company, paint used, etc. but I would say 8/10 times, white is one of the hardest CC, with black usually being the softest..
