Thanks for the bump. This should be a sticky! And thanks for doing the test, Joe. Ford's recommended maximum removal of clear coat is only 0.4, but you did it in 0.3. Using a DA at 2000, 4000, and I'm not sure what the mildest compound around today that will pull that out with a rotary would be, but that looks promising. Of course, as you said, you'd need to test on the paint you are working on.
I think its time for a #105-#205, W5000 test. Wadathink?
Bring it on!!

I own a silver vehicle and a black vehicle owns me. The black one demands attention, washing, detailing, waxing and an occasional dinner out at a nice restaurant. The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

Definitely. I'd like to see something that's bad enough that #105 is needed followed by #205 to make it perfect. Honestly I'd like to see it repeated 5-10 times and see what the end result is.
It would great to have data like this to be able to reassure customers that their clearcoat won't be too thin even if they require yearly maintenance. If they want to beat if up in an automated car wash all winter long and then have it detailed each spring. They'd be just fine.
