I recently purchased a used 2011 BMW Z4, with Deep Sea Blue paint.

Anyone have an idea if this is a hard or soft paint? There are some VERY slight swirls I'd like to remove.

Also, it's got the Kansas beige leather interior? any products that are specifically good or bad? I've got the The Wolfgang Cockpit Clean & Protect Kit and am hoping it's suitable.
 
From my experience, BMW paint is on the harder side. I have not worked with the Deep Sea Blue Metallic paint so I can't tell you how that paint will react. But generally BMW is on the harder side I find.

Generally yes, BMW paint is on the harder side. But let's not forget the soft nature of BMW's Jet Black.

Very true. It so variable. Its crazy to think the Carbon Black that BMW produce was super hard, and yet on the same model car it can have soft paint the Jet Black.

Imagine having having two identical 2011 M3's built in the same week with one being Carbon Black Metallic and the other one Jet Black.

What works for one wont work on the other.
