SSR2.5 and hazing

[gh0st]

I just got done with one coat of SSR2.5 on a black 00 Celica. I noticed that after the first coat with a yellow pad it got rid of most of the big scratches but it left these little "C" scratches that im guessing are from my PC. I tried going over it with an orange pad but that didn`t help. I also tried the my 4* SMR with both yellow and orange but they didn`t want to leave, even after 2 coats of the 4*. It seems like I have no happy medium between the two products. I dont know if I`m still making new swirls with the orange pad or if I`m jst not getting rid of the old ones :/



Any suggestions on the process I should be using for this stuff? Should I but SSR2 and 1? How many coats/passes of this stuff should I do?

Try another SMR



Maybe Optimum or some DACP. If you pay shipping I will will send you 8 ozs of DACP or 8 ozs OP, or PM me for other options.

Its very typical of 2.5. I was recently summoned to rid those little marks on a 05 GT for that same reason. Poor guy thought he ruined the finish on the Mustang ! I hit it with 2.5 again and a green pad to get a fresh start, then went with Optimum and green again, sealed `er up with BF.......

Today I finally attacked the fornt end of my 00 Expy with 2.5 and a green pad, then went with 3D finishing polish and was really impressed with the 3D product.....Sealed up with UPP......

Could be something got caught in the pad, like dirt and scratched the paint.

I get a fair amount of micro-marring with 2.5 and an orange pad.

I dont think so, they`re much to frequent and I washed the pad a couple times while I was using it.

Green pad and 2.5 at a speed of 4-5 should fix you right-up! Make sure you work it in very well moving slowly across the paint. THis will work best out of the sun thus allowing you to work the polish a little more.

Precisely what happened to my client.....meaning thats what prompted the call to me....

I get little to no hazing with SSR2.5 w/ an LC white pad, PC @ 5. Maybe your pad choice is too aggressive for a haze free finish? I like to step down to SSR1 whether or not I have hazing before going to an LSP. If you`re washing and reusing the pads while polishing, you might be introducing water from a damp pad into the 2.5, which will make you have more cut.
