Going to pick this car up Wednesday. I was there today and it was rainy outside and the dealer didn't have great lights inside so it was tough to see the defects of the paint. There are some scuffs and scratches, but nothing I can't get out. Now my main question is how is the paint on this car to work with. Difficult or fairly easy? It is a Dark Blue color.

Treat it like any other paint nothing special no were near as hard as my Corvette I would say it's about the same as a late model Jaguar . I've use my Flex and Hydro pads and had no trouble getting out the swirls .

Good advice about treating it like nothing special. I know what you mean about the hardness of them Corvette clear coats :laughing:

Thanks Adam!

I have 2 Volvo's. A 2011 C30 R and a 2008 S60. The paint on both cars is fairly hard and I get my best results with the Megs MF discs and D300 followed by M205. The paint corrected very nicely using this combo.

I don't have the MF discs or D300. But have heard great things about them(might be on my next AG order). So I guess I'll have to break out the M105.

Thanks for the info Paul!

I own a volvo (silver metallic) and maintain a couple as well (passion red). As stated the clear is on the hard side

Thanks! After correcting a Corvette clear coat this should be somewhat easier.
