Paint Hardness ?
Is there any way to figure out the hardness of paint ? i see many posts that talk about different cars with different hardness of paint and i was wondering if there is anyway to test for that? For example i have a 2013 infiniti g37x and i was always curious as to how hard/soft my paint was... im also curious as to which products (swirl removers, compound, polish) would work well with my infiniti's black paint

Re: Paint Hardness ?
Only true way to test for it is to perform test spots with various products/pads to see what your results are.
You can typically make some assumptions based on experience - ie it is almost always the case that a Jet Black BMW will have very soft paint, and that a black corvette will have very hard paint. Take these generalizations with a grain of salt and remember that anything is possible! For instance, a car could have been repainted and may have completely different paint than what you are expecting.
*I have never worked on a G37, but I believe they tend to be on the harder side? Someone else can chime in with more confidence.
