Testing PB's SSR 2.5

Anthony Orosco · 06-10-04, 07:03

Steve sent me some SSR 2.5 to test out for him and so far I am very impressed.

I messed around with it a little here and there, mainly with my Cyclo, but today I got to use it with a rotary on a Saab.

I first clayed the car, had lots of paint overspray from a re-painted rear panel. I then leveled the top portions with an orange pad and Hi-Temps Heavy Duty Leveler. The sides, except the passenger rear panel, were all done with the Cyclo, green pads and 2.5, the rear panel was done with my rotary because it had sanding marks in it from a re-paint.

The top portions were then polished with a LC polishing pad and the 2.5, which as already noted works great. Very low dusting and no problems removing. Leaves a nice gloss that's ready to wax. If you are looking to replace something like DACP then you may want to give the 2.5 a try. Awesome smell by the way

Cyclo and some FP finished the polishing and the paint was then topped with Hi-Temps Poly Spray.

2.5 works well with both the Cyclo and a rotary and I am sure it works justgreat with the PC also.

Here are a few pictures....of course

(Sorry, no BEFORE pics)

So is 2.5 readily available? Very interested as I cannot get DACP here in Australia and Im not too happy as I will now have to import something

And yeah, you got me, what did you use on the tires?

Im guessing Dupont...

Oh, and great work on the SAAB as always

Your normal excellent work, Anthony! Really nice glow on that silver.

I really like Poorboy's SSR line up. I got excellent results using them with my PC. I need to reorder more and check out the 2.5, I want to see how it compares to #80 Speed Glaze, my current 'hotness' for light to moderate paint work.

Would that tire dressing be something new from Steve also?

JayC · 06-10-04, 08:24

Did you have any problem with the product staining trim? I assume you probably didnt since you didnt mention it, just asking.

I am not sure if the 2.5 is ready to ship just yet. I'll ask Steve that.

And to answer the "tire question" for you and all others. It is Akrya's "Slick 906" water based tire dressing. I sprayed it on and just let it sit, went over it with a tire sponge about 20 minutes later and it set real well. Nice deep black sheen without alot of gloss.

At $13 a gallon it's a pretty good buy also. It can be cut with water to produce less shine. How durable it is I have no idea as of yet. It gives a very similar "Armor All" look.

Yes, PB SSR 2.5 is shipping. I am expected to receive mine next week.

With Aloha,

Thank you Scott

You really need to try the Hi-Temp Poly Spray, I am thinking you'll love the stuff because it is so versatile.

Not only did I do the wheels with it but also polished the glass with it after claying them to remove paint overspray.

I have never used #80 si sadly I can't compare them for you.

Take care,
Anthony
