Re: Yep, the paint is 'soft'...

In my opinion, I think the paint on our Ridgelines is poor at best. Because of that, I would really think twice about buying another Honda. I currently own 2, but Honda really needs to get their crap together and start putting good paint on the vehicles.

Re: Yep, the paint is 'soft'...

KE5TCG, here is the product that works for me.
That little yellow column on the left is the "gritiness" of it. (1-10). The higher the arrow goes the gritier the compound is. As you can see it is at #1, meaning it's really super fine.

3M also makes a good polishing compound that I have used for years to take out the small scratches and spiderwebbing. You can get it at any auto paint store.

Sounds similar to the 3M Imperial Glaze I like to use for fine scratches and the "webbing" effect. You can also get this stuff at any auto paint supply store.

This is what I've used with good results in the past. White bottle with blue lettering. I have always purchased it from NAPPA. It is really a pain to get out of cracks and off plastic so use painters tape to make the job easier.
