You're making progress. Is that SS as in single stage (paint) or SS as in Super Sport? | |

Here is the roof of the car  
What should I do hit it up again with SSR1 or do SSR2.5 then 1 again? | |

Or should I be using a Yellow cutting pad instead of Light cutting pad with 2.5? | |

It's not unusual to make several passes (as in applications) of a product like SSR 2.5 and an orange pad to remove defects with a PC. I'd personally rather use an orange pad and a couple of more passes than resort to the yellow pad. Yellow is most likely going to leave some marring that'd have to be removed with the orange pad anyway. It's just something you need to get a feel for, but if the defects are responding to the orange pad I think you're good to just hit it another time or two. Just make sure you work the SSR's enough to break them down, and don't be afraid of speed 5 and 6 on the PC. | |

I usually use speed six when polishing, but never lower than 5. | |

The GM clear is on the harder side, you might have reached the limit of what a PC, pad and polish combo are going to do for you. Still a good improvement.

Still a good improvement. | Yeah, I think you are right. I have heard GM clear is rock hard and once I put AIO over it will help some too. I don't think I am going to get everything out. What pad do you use AIO with.. White polish or blue finishing pad? | |
