I knew I should have done this.....

So I have a white mustang. Paint was not in the best shape when I bought it. I took some Dawn and a clay bar to it and cleaned up the paint from all of the crap that was in it.

I then came back and hit it with SSR2.5 and a polishing pad...this removed quite a bit of the spiderweb scratches but in certain light I could still see some. I followed this with Poorboy`s Pro Polish....paint is smooth but there are still fine scratches, they aren`t easily noticeable but I know they are there.

I plan to hit it with PwS, White Diamond and then EX-P and Natty`s Red....

Question is, I should have it with SSR1 post SSR2.5 right?? Probably would have given better results!!

Also, if I finish it up will this take care of the remaining scratches??

Thanks guys!

While I can`t tell you what needs to be done, I do have one suggestion.
Work on one panel until you achieve the results you are looking for. Once you decide on the product and process, then do the rest of the vehicle.

Yeah I started on just one section of the hood and with the SSR2.5 and polishing pad I came out with good results.....but in different lighting is showed otherwise....I mean it looks good but I am just a perfectionist when it comes to this I guess

then you need to be in that light and do another pass or two of SSR2.5 before moving on

yeah thats the thing that sucks is if u have a PC it wont be uncommon to have the need to do a minimum of 2-4 passes per section your working on ...

i usually test out a pass with 2.5/yellow, a pass with 2.5/orange, and maybe a third pass with orange/2.5 as well ... then move to a lighter polish for one pass more before i move to either a glaze or other product then my LSP .

Very good advice. Do a test spot and get the correction your looking for. Then use that same method over the whole car.
