Any of you guys ever detailed Volvos? What type of paint do they have? Hard or Soft? I`m soft of new to detailing. I was just wondering what combos have you guys found to work for the best correction. I have a 01` Volvo C70 if it helps at all.



I figured I`d post in here since most of all you guys detail as a job and probably come around a higher variety of cars.

I detailed an 2002 s40, dark blue paint, almost purpleish. i used a LC white pad with optimum polish, 1000- 1400rpm. worked out perfectly.

Volvos are the most common vehicles I work on, since I detail part time out of a Volvo shop. Usually I find their paint is on the harder side, but not Audi/VW hard. My usual combo of choice is Menzerna SIP and 106ff, using the Flex 3401.

If I have some scratches that arent heavy enough for my fingernail to get caught and lots of swirls is that enough to get some wool pads and use some heavy cut or no?



I`ll try and post some pics but i find it so hard getting pics of swirls on a silver color paint.
