I detailed this 02 300M the other day which was heavily marred and full of scratches. I tried my goto polish (ssr 2.5 ) a couple of times with a cutting pad with little improvement. I recently bought some ssr 3 and thought this is the perfect time to try it. All I can say is wow. This stuff really works great. One pass with a cutting pad took out what 2.5 with a cutting pad, could do very little with. Where 2.5 leaves a bright finish which you can go straight to LSP with, ssr 3 produces almost as good a finish, with only a little hazing. I almost forgot, I just tried the new Mothers Powerball on the chrome rims. Great job, total time for 4 rims 8 minutes :xyxthumbs . Anyways enough raving
