    I did a 2010 (I think) with pearlized white.

    White pad with 101 did 99%, then went to 205 on black pad.

    So, not sure if hard or soft, I did what it needed.

    As is always said, test spot and start with a polishing pad and polish. You can always get more aggressive. I have done some that worked very easy, and some were difficult. Depend on what paint system they use at that time.

    Remember, don't concern yourself with hard/soft... Always start with the least aggressive product on a test spot first. If you get the results you like, move on.

    In my experience the dark colors for Maserati normally seem to be the harder colors to polish if going after deep imperfections.
    Lighter colors seem to be much less problematic ......
