Hi Chaps.
Does anyone know how hard the clear coat is on my S60? I want to do some polishing by hand and results I guess will depend on how tough the clear coat is.
This is what I have planned.

You will be like Mr muscle afterwards. Volvo used to be very hard paint, I know my P2 C70 was a lot softer compared to my saffy, I would think the S60 would be a hard finish not as hard as the Germans though

Found this which seems to suggest it's not too bad.

Cool, I still wouldn't fancy correcting a full car by hand. Good luck :-)

Not looking to do a full correction tbh. I only want to reduce the swirls and add a bit of depth before sealing.

You will notice a big difference with the correct hand polishing pad and Polish combo, it's not that difficult, I only ever use it on small parts that the da can't reach, I havnt polished a car in a year now lol how life changes when you have a family, I still go over the top when it comes to washing and the car is always sealed I just wish I had time to do my P2 it really needs it.
