Just looking for some advice for a newbie on the paint hardness for my vehicles so I approach then with the right pads and polish.

1980 Porsche 911SC Targa - Wine Color
2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser - Black/White top
2007 Audi Q7 - Light Blue/Silver

Can you please rate them on level of paint hardness SOft/Medium in your expereince.

If the 911 is original paint it "should" be single stage which would make it very soft. Start out with a polishing pad (white LC or yellow megs foam)

The audi will be very hard.
The FJ should be med.

You should start out with a polishing pad on each and move up from there if needed.

Great thanks. I will start with the white pad on the porsche. I just have some white spots on all over the car that I need to figure out the process for. I will post pictures when I reach 10 posts. 1 away.
