Subaru paint finish

Does anyone know if Subaru paintwork is soft, medium or hard as I am in the process of purchasing some polish but need to know which one in terms of abrasiveness depending on the paintwork

Cheers

Very soft and the new Ones are even softer
Autoglmn super resin polish is fine after claying of course
Then top it up with egp to seal it

Hd wax is good
I personally use chemical guys products
50/50 paste followed by 2 coats of backlight then V7 to seal it
£80 should get you going on this little lot and easy to put on too
