    Paint hardness 05' Chrysler Pacifica

    Today I received a phone call,for a full correction on a white 2005' Chrysler Pacifica.
    Anyone have experience on how hard the paint is for this vehicle?
    I have never done a Pacifica but know that most Chrysler's (2001 and up) have relatively medium hardness paints and they correct rather easily.
    Just curious so I can pre-plan my plan of attack because this is going to be a complete detail (Exterior/Interior) and would like to have a lil' bit of this weekend for some family time?

    Personally I never try to pre-plan a plan of attack unless I've worked on a vehicle before or several of the same type of vehicle to determine how consistent they are. The rest of the time I rely on the trusty old test spot method.

    That's what my wife has. Unfortunately, it's sadly overdue for a polish. If I can remember all the way back to when I did it last (a few years ago), I don't remember it being too hard. Not as bad as some of the GM clears. That's my foggy recollection anyway. I'm actually waiting for a beta sealant to try on it, so it will be done within a few weeks.

    I hear ya on that (test spot). Just getting antsy because it's one I never done.

    That's what I was thinking (" I don't remember it being too hard"),that most Chrysler's are of moderate hardness.

    I like the fact that the Pacifica has nice size body panels and very little curves,should make for a friendly detail.
