09 BMW Jet Black

I'm hanging this one up on the Trouble Tree! I had a Jet Black 09 BMW 335i today and the reputation of this paint is that it's incredibly soft. Not so with this one!!! This puppy was rock hard and I really had a hard time correcting to 100%

Anyone else have any recent experience with the BMW Jet Black?

Me. Every day.

Is it swrilled? rids?

What did you try using?
 
Swirls and scratches from tunnel wash and a few RIDS. My final selection after experimenting a bit was Meg's 105, orange pad and my circular up to about 1600/1700. Followed that with SIP green pad up to about 1400/1500, then finished with Menz 106ff black pad at around 1000 to 1200. The scratches were even laughing at the M105 cut approach. :wall
 
That's ok Ronkh, thanks for answering. It's just that this one threw me for a loop. I was expecting the typical recent build date soft JB and this twas a wicked one!

I'm sure your's isn't needing substantial correction like this one did but what do you use as far as SSR's. I'm guessing you don't go up to SSR 3 do you? Also, what build date are you? If I remember you have a 5?
 
I had the pleasure of working on Ron's paint one day and everything I tried kept intruducing swirls into the paint, even SSR 1 on a finish pad. That is until I realized I had to crank the speed up and generate a bit more heat with the new formula SSR 1 and then it finished out very nice.
