If I use SSR 2.5 with a yellow pad, can I follow directly with AIO with a white pad?



Do I need an FP step in between?



Thanks!

I would try SSR 2.5 with a white pad first. It will break down nicely to an AIO-ready surface. The cutting pad may leave minor hazing. It works just fine with the less agressive white pad.

I would stick with the polishing pads.

I am just anticipating heavy swirls.

FWIW I have used SSR3 with a cutting pad on a black car and had little to no haze. I followed with SSR1 anyway though.

[ZaneO]

If it does leave minor hazing, will AIO bring the full shine back?

[wifehatescar]

Not sure, if I were you I`d use SSR1 first, then AIO just to be sure. IMO......it will only add 20-30 minutes to the process.

I am traveling 4 hrs. for this detail, so I am trying to get the job done in the timeliest (sp?) fashion possible and still do proper work.

Why not do SSR1 and skip AIO (unless AIO is your LSP)? SSR1 is my last polishing step before wax/sealant 90% of the time.

Because I am using AIO as my base for Wolfgang.

id go 2.5 and an orange pad if you have one, followed up with ssr2 polishing pad then aio finishing/hand then WG. traveling 4 hours for a detail where is this at?

[ZaneO]

I am trying to avoid the second polishing step if possible, due to time constraints. I have Menzerna FP, so it`s not a problem, I am just trying to plan ahead.



The detail is in Clovis, NM.

I`ve done it.. works fine..



I`ve also added SSR1 before AIO.. no difference really

I used SSR2.5 this weekend gone for the first time on an ordinary piece of marring. I used a polishing pad and made multiple passes to get the job done. I could have gone straight to AIO ( or in my case VM ) but because Im a relatively picky bugga ( and it was my car ), I followed up with FP just to be sure, but there really wasnt a vast enough improvement to warrant the extra step.



Heres a link with photos.

i think there will be mirco marring but aio will not remove it but it may make it less noticeable... good luck post pics when your done.
