I did a Honda Civic today with PB SSR2.5 and used a little less than 1/4 of the bottle. Am I using too much? By the way it worked great took out almost every scratch and I was able to go straight to the LSP.

i use as much as necessary. some vehicles need more than others. it also depends on what polish you use. usually the thicker the polish, the more you are going to use because it won't go as far. i put my polishes the little clear ketchup style bottles and that helps keep the polish even when i put it on the paint and it helps me cut down on the amount i have to use.

thats good, I have a gallon of the 2.5 and i havent used much of it but when i did i used a lot cause it breaks down so fast that you need more. Your using the right amount for a smr.

Polishes are not like waxes and sealants. With a polish, use as much as necessary. I used half a bottle of SFX1 while working on a heavily swirled and scratched car.

I should also note that with poorboys stuff, I have found that you will generally need more if your polishing in the sun since it will also dry out faster.

As long as you do not polish very often, or once every six months as you rebuild your finish.

I use very little polish (once a year). The wax is the clincher in my finish.
