Standard dulux depth of around 120um, where a heavy cut compound can be used no problems. The only issue and it's not a real issue is that the paint is soft (compared to VAG) and so can be corrected without too much aggression.
The soft paint is what allows the bramble rash to easily apprear of the car but relatively easy to remove. Your local 'detailer' ridgeback obvioulsy did not eaven inspect the car.
