Never paint corrected a Buick before. Are these paints generally hard or soft?
Thanks!

Thanks GSKR you are indeed right. Did a test spot on the customer car and it was on the medium softer side.

I would say its medium and typical GM paint. Nowhere near as soft as Nissan and other foreign makes.

Thanks for the information! What products did you use!
Our 2011 Carbon Black Metallic has hard paint. It was in the first batch built in Germany but I can't say if that's why the paint is hard. Mid year production was moved to Canada so I would assume that's why the others are typical GM medium. I had to use microfiber pads with HD Cut followed by HD Polish on B&S green foam. I'm getting ready to finish down the entire drivers side after the body shop but I plan to sand with 3000, then compound the whole thing again thanks to their wash method that mutilated the paint.
