How much difference between SSR 2.5 & 3

[mcate]

I`m doing a red 92 Mustang that seems to be mostly original paint. I`m using SSR 2.5 with an orange pad for the swirls, & they`re pretty stubborn. Just wondering how much different 3.0 would be?

big jump ... first question would be ...what kind of machine are you using

Worlds of difference.....

I`m using my PC 7336 set between 5 & 6.

the PC can sometimes work with the SSR3 but it does work better with a rotary or Flex.

Getting back to your swirls, sometimes a more powerful machine is the answer vs more aggressive product/pad

SSR 3 is abrasive enough to remove paint down to the primer and beyond. (by hand!)

This is after multiple applications, mind you.

Well, here`s the finished product. This is after clay, SSR2.5, Pro Polish, Black Hole, EX, & 1 coat of Natty`s Red. He`s picking it up tomorrow, so I`ll throw another coat of Red on before he gets here. Lot of work, but I`m happy with it. I might try some SSR3 sometime. I`ve never used a high speed buffer before, & won`t try it until I get some training.

By the way, this car is nasty! It`s a VERY built 351 running on a combination if Sunoco 93 & CAM2 110 octane racing gas. I put it in the garage the other night & didn`t let it air out enough. The smoke alarms in my house went off from the exhaust! (Wife wasn`t very happy)

Man, that looks great! I have a soft spot in my heart for that car. My first car was a black 92 Mustang GT. Can`t wait to get back in to another one. Nice work!

Thanx! Yeah, the old Fox body Stangs were cool. I still get a kick out of the 4-lug wheels.

I`m somewhat prejudiced since I own 2 Fox Mustangs but you did a great job on that one, looks very nice.

What did you use on the moldings around the quarter windows and the rest of the black trim?

Thanx, & I used Poorboy`s Trim Restorer on all the trim.

Man does that car look good. Very, very nice job on the detail!

Thanx! I`m really happy with the way it turned out. The owner was too. He`s got a dark red `08 Roush TrakPak that I want to get my hands on.
