Paint Hardness/thickness

[Vermillion3]

I have seen only one post that stated that the paint on the Genny was "hard" I am curious if this is in fact correct or no? I have a 2010 that is black and I am looking to get the cobb webs and swirls out of her but do not want to damage the finish in my zeal to correct it. Any info would be great. Thanks

Doesn't really matter if the paint is hard or not. Doing a detail job on a car (especially a black car) requires you to know exactly what you are doing.

I beg to differ sir.... the more info the better. I am trying to increase my knowledge of the beast so that I do not screw it up especially due to the fact that she is the color black and shows EVERYTHING!

Ha.im turning in my 2011 black Equus for a '14 and am dent/ding free. But I do have what I call the "Hyundai scratches". You know, the ones that happen when you look at the car. Pretty sure Hyundai patented them so as to reduce the trade-in value.
But seriously, I've had 5 black cars in a row, including an '09 Gen. It will NEVER look as good as the day you drive it off the dealer's lot.
Suggestion:
Some dealers outsource their detailing. Doesn't hurt to ask where they have it done.

Black is too much to deal with.
It's too big, too hard and im always in pain afterwards.

I'll stick with the white ones.

I'm interested in paint info; not on your lasting impressions of your date with Lexington Steel PP.

LMAO!

One of the most reliable ops on this site posted this thread referencing the steps and products by a professional detailer used to correct the paint on his black Genesis.

He posted pictures detailing the step by step process. I think this information may answer some of your questions.

It's not rocket science, but it is a LOT of work. I hire it out. I've had many black vehicles, and yes, there are HUGE variations in paint quality, but probably nothing matches the shit paint job on a Honda accord the ex-wife had to have about 12years ago (and I mean that in the nicest way, really).

The right detailer can make even crap like that spot, spider web, and scratch free (within reason).

Unless you have experience with detailing black paint, IMHO, spend the cash on someone who has. My .02.

Thanks gents I'm not afraid of the work as it will be a labor of love the article listed above was the one I referenced in my original post I was just curious if anyone else had similar experience.
