SSR1 vs. ProPolish

[01WJLimited]

I`m torn between the two. I`m getting SSR2.5, thats a guaruntee.

I was set on SSR1 until I saw this thread, thanks to JaredPointer.

Let`s hear your thoughts. (The Polisher is a PC 7336, for the record.)

Well here goes my thoughts.

If I am using SSR2.5 I usually follow with SSR1. This means that I have some pretty heavy marring and spider webs.

IF I need to take care of minor marring I will use ProPolish to get a good surface for an LSP.

I would hate to be without either of them. Glad that I do not have to make a choice between the two.

The more I use Pro Polish, the more I realise just how versatile it is. It will remove light cobwebbing and pad hazing & it will clean tough stains. I think the final look you get from using Pro Polish is different than that of SSR1. Both are good polishes, and I am glad I have both around, but I understand your situation. I change my mind quite a bit when it comes to detailing products, but right now if I had to pick one or the other, I`d probably go with Pro Polish.

This strays a little from the topic, but if I have a goos supply of Klasse AIO, and don`t have ant PB PP right now, can`t the AIO take it`s place in the processes described above?

Thanks

It has been my experience that AIO is a good chemical cleaner of paint. It is not as abrassive as ProPolish. They both do a good job but in different ways.

With a machine and correct pads marring can be taken away with ProPolish. I have not found that to be the case with AIO.

I`m a bit puzzled. The label on the Professional Polish clearly states that it`s a "non-abrasive formula"!

Greg, I wish that I could give you a chemist answer. I cannot. All I can tell you that is that it works. Have used both AIO and ProPolish and the results are that the ProPolish will help take care of minor marring as well as clean the paint chemically. This is when it is used in conjunction with a PC and pads. I normally use a LC polishing pad to clean my paint. I have used LC orange light cutting pad as a step up on the problem.

Your results may vary but my experience of ProPolish is that it is a very versatile product.

[holland_patrick]

it has NO ABRASIVES.. it`s chemically abrasive.. using the cut of the pad to brake down the swirls.

I find PP more versatile. I use SSR1 as a final polish, but I`ve used PP to clear up head lights/tail lights/etc.
(Plus, PP doesn`t have as much of a risk to stain white pads as SSR1 does. )

My take is that if you can swing them both get PP and SSR1 they are really two different products, both have a purpose in detailing that one really can`t cover the other...The PP is real good on plastic headlights, instrument panels, chrome, aluminium, glass for water spots and paint....SSR1 its real only use (for me) is paint for remove minor swirls and polishing.....personally I don`t feel like the PP dose as nice a job on paint as SSR1, you can also go straight to LSP after SSR1 with PP I still feel the need for something else before LSP, P-w-C...PP doesn`t give the bling that I look for that SSR1 dose...ok I`m done now

When used in conjunction with a polish pad, it does have some defect removal capabilities - probably more so due to the cutting action of the pad than any sort of abrasives that may be in the ProPolish.

Thanks everyone - all clear now.
