How hard is Honda clear?

i love my 04 accord but the paint sucks i look at it and it scratches ! and as much as i want the new 08 i dont think ill buy it and my trunk started to rust from under the paint about a year ago and honda said o well
 
I have a 2007 Civic ,I swear if I sneeze on it I'll scratch it, way too soft ,you should only use a PC with a finishing pad to start and then go more aggressive bit by bit.

The colour on this car is called Galaxcy Gray which is metallic with clearcoat ,I used Menz PO85 RD to do corrections.
 
My experience:



1998 Honda Accord - Red - Soft

2006 Acura TSX - Red - Very Soft

2006 Honda CR-V - Pewter Metallic - Hard to Very Hard

2006 Honda Odyssey - Silver Metallic - Hard
 
I just got done washing our 08 CR-V...big *** gouge in the clear on the hood. It's only the clear, the paint is fine. Now I need to get a thing of clear touch-up and fill it before something happens :(
 
Does anyone know how hard the clear is on a '03 black S2000? I think that's the model year. My friend's going to borrow my equipment to work on his (he lightly did his CRV a while back). I'm assuming it's soft also, but it'd be great to have some confirmation. I have #83, Z-PC, 106FF, and SIP, and I'm assuming I should start with Z-PC on a white pad.
 
If I don't finish my car off (Nighthawk Black Pearl) with a black CCS pad and FPII, there are still a ton of micro cuts, it's that soft.

The Honda I did that was so soft was red.
