    Ssr3

    I just used some SSR3 for the first time today. All i can say is holy sh*t, this stuff is like liquid sandpaper. It made very short work a few light scratches but it left some light marring of its own, it is some strong stuff. I applied SSR3 by hand followed by Menzerna IP by PC and then PwC by PC and the finish was flawless on a dark red car. I wish i took some pics I also tried some Menzerna FP and that stuff is friggin worthless. it was the hardest stuff i have ever tried to remove from my car. It is one product that i will need to find an alternate use for it b/c its never going on my car again.

    YOU JUST REMINDED ME ... I have a couple questions about SSR 3
    Does SSR 3 have diminishing abrasives? It doesn`t matter much as I have mixed feelings about them anyway.
    Can it be used with a rotary and a PC?
    Is it the best SSR product to remove marks from wet sanding with 1500 or 2000 grit paper?

    Yes all the SSR`s have diminishing abrasives and all can be used by hand, pc, or rotary...best and quickest results will come from rotary, pc and then hand work.

    Just happened to be doing some testing this weekend...I went with some 2000 paper, then SSR2.5 ...it took out 90% of the sanding marks with a pc at 5.5-6, then moved to SSR2 and got about 5% more also at 5-6, then used SSR1 and couldn`t see anything but clear reflection at about 3-4 on the pc...

    I`ll have to get some 1500 to do some further testing...
    might be working on a Black f250 tomorrow with haze and holigrams from last person who did buffing :nono tomorrow depending on the weather

    poormanisme - FP puts a nice shine on a good finish - in my opinion anyway. To remove it, a spritz of 50/50 water and alcohol takes it right off. Since it leaves no fillers, there`s no down side with the spritz.

    But I used SSR1 for the first time last night and today. :wow If you`re not pleased with FP, I say go for the SSR1. That stuff really rocks.
    :band

    Steve - no fillers left behind with SSR1? It`s pretty wet looking. Come on. Spill the beans, What you leaving on there?

    Poorboy,
    What pads were you using on the PC.
    Your results sound fantastic.

    Unlike most people , I like the original foam pads that come with the pc:dunno I believe this lets me see what the product can do, and not the agressiveness of a pad.
    Some new pads and a backing plate are on my birthday wish list

    I bought my PC at Lowes and It came with a white foam pad ... Is this what you are referring to?
    In my opinion, I do not see much difference between pads ... cutting to polishing or polishing to finishing ... at least the Meg`s pads.

    I probably need awd330 to come over and take pictures...
    my computer and i are mentally challenged in those departments

    Diminishing abrasives mean that they break down as you work, untill they are no longer abrasive at all...these help the users not damage the clearcoats as well as not remove too much paint from a single stage paint .
    The abrasives we grew up on did not have diminishing properties and worked as long as you did, which led to many people going right through their finishes, especially with cars from the 40`s-70`s that had a lot of fins, squared off corners and points compare to todays rounded corners and sleek body styles.
