Hey guys,
I`m helping my neighbour out this weekend taking a few scratches out of his Subaru Legacy. I`ve never polished a Subaru before, what is the paint like? Hard/soft? Thick/thin? Its a pearl white...
Thanks for any tips/help anyone can offer

Like a Honda... not cool
Some of the older ones can be hard but most are soft and thin
106FF with white pad usually gets out all marks.

In my experience (and I`ve done more than a few Subies for our local Subaru club), Subaru paint is moderately soft, and pretty easy to correct. I`m usually able to get out swirls and light scratches with Sonus SFX-1 or Hi-Temp Heavy Cut. Both of those polishes work well for me, and usually finish LSP-ready if used with an orange light cutting pad (if you have to use a cutting pad, you might need a second round with a lighter polish).
IMO, the worst thing about Subaru paint is that it`s pretty susceptible to rock chipping.

It`s soft paint like others said.
