Questions on SSR's

I take it SSR1 is more than adequate for a new car (mine is a few weeks old, my brothers' about 5 months).

But what about for a 2001 silver Mitsubishi (minimally washed or waxed, if any) and a 1994 black Camry (ditto, minimally washed or waxed). These are family member cars and I'm thinking maybe I can bring them back a bit with some of the techniques and materials I've picked up here.

Would SSR 2 or SSR 2.5 or even SSR 3.0 be best? I know this is a guestimate on your part, I'm leaning to 2.5 or 3.0 given the age and lack of car care involved in each over the years. Needless to say, I don't want to over-abrasive (if that's possible) on the cars and damage them.

Finally, any suggestions on a chemical cleaner and I should be set to go next week. I think I have the SSR's, towels, polishes, cleaners, and waxes all set. Just making sure I have all the intermediate steps covered -- boy, this is ALOT of work!

Hopefully, it's worth the effort.
 
I'm sure the pros on this site will say "it depends. Show us pictures."
The product to use depends on the condition of the paint.
I have been using SSR1 on some older cars with typical wash scratrches and swirls.
It has made a huge difference in the overall gloss and look of the paint, but has not dug down to the deepest scratches.
I have learned reading here that those require stronger products (like the SSR2.5 and 3 you mention) along with a PC for easiest removal.
 
:yeah . Pics would help alot , but as a rule when in-doubt always start off with the least aggressive product and if that isn't working step up . Good luck :bigups
