I was planning on buying ssr2.5 and ssr1, but some people on this forum have said ssr1 is quite useless by itself. Since i am strapped on cash i cannot buy too many products. I have read about the wonders of aio. can i substitue aio for the ssr1 after polishing with ssr2.5. I am worried that if ssr2.5 hazes that the aio will not be able to remove the haze.
 
I have removed compounding haze with AIO before. I have never used PB SSR 2.5 so I don't know how bad that hazes. AIO will remove light hazing though.

I, on the other hand, have *never* been able to remove any hazing with AIO. So I'm not sure it's safe to generalize about using AIO for that. Probably depends on both how bad the hazing is and how hard the paint is, so just be aware that YMMV.
 
If you use the 2.5 with a polishing pad you will be fine following it up with AIO, then LSP.



Used with a cutting pad, I would recommend using something a bit more aggressive, SSR1 comes to mind.
 
You shouldn't get any hazing with SSR 2.5 . It's a simple product to use , SSR 1 is a great stand alone polish for light marring or just to polish out already swirl free paint . If you have swirls 2.5 will take care of them . AIO is a great single step or cleaner polish /protector.



So to recap, SSR1 is not what you want to correct swirls , SSR 2.5 is the one to buy. I go right from 2.5 to my sealant or LSP . AIO s a non-abrasive cleaner polish and protector ( your not going to correct swirls with it ) well worth buying.

That would be up to you after a visual inspection. If you managed to get rid of "most" of the swirls with the cutting pad, the polishing pad should finish them off. and hopefully leave you with a finish ready for your LSP.
 
I bought SSR 1 for the exact reason of following SSR 2.5 with it. I have read many on here that do the same. I will be going to AIO after SSR1. My paint is pretty swirly, and I think the pad and SSR2.5 combo will need something to follow it up to get the haze out.
