The paint on newer cars seems to be quite a bit softer and thinner than it was back in The Good Ole Days (1950s thru early-1970s). But I don't have any kind of scientific evidence to back that up - just the way it looks to me. I always assumed it was because of EPA regulations pertaining to paint fumes.
If you are going through the clearcoat or paint with your polishing, you're doing something wrong. See Junkman2008's paint care videos.
