I know the answer varies like crazy but I was wondering first how long it takes you to wear through the clear coat on your test hood. Then I figured that was probably painted with extra clear? So have you ever had a test hood you wore right through? How many times did you have to compound it roughly.
Does a medium cut polish or swirl remover have what it takes to cut through an oem clearcoat. Say with a finishing pad? Are we talking closer to 5-6 times or 50 times?
I know there is no exact answer since there are so many variables so I'm not trying to nail you down on an exact answer. Its just I read on another forum that it would taking literally hundreds of times to wear through the clear coat of a modern car with Ultimate compound. I've always wondered how true that is?
I know how thin clear coats are as in a post-it note but obviously they are very hard. They are not easy to cut though. At least not with a soft pad and milder consumer type compound like meguiars UC.
