SSR before Pro Polish or Vice Versa

[smprince1]

What is the preferred order of apply swirl removers and Pro Polish?

Does it depend on how many SSR steps are needed, or does the order matter at all?

For example:

Wash
Clay
Pro Polish with polishing pad
SSR 2.5 with light cutting pad
SSR 1 with polishing pad
then LSP

or . . .

Wash
Clay
SSR 2.5
SSR 1
Pro Polish
Then LSP

Or how about if only doing a 1 step SSR, Like SSR 2 with a polishing pad and then straight to finish?

SSR 2
Pro Polish

Or . . .

Pro Polish
SSR 2

Or, does it matter? Or is this just another personal preference?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg ????

Some polishes leave behind "something" that may interfere with sealants. For that reason, almost all of us use a paint cleaner (Pro Polish, in your case) after swirl/scratch removal.

I am pretty positive that the SSR polishes are pure polishes--they do not leave anything behind--but it certainly doesn`t hurt to err on the safe side.

It`s a matter of personal preference. Some people prefer to use SSRs before PP, while others prefer to use Pro Polish before the SSRs. It depends upon the type of paint cleaning/correction and overall look you are trying to achieve. See these threads for previous discussions -

My take on EX-P

Clay after PP

Question about stripping layers
