When you get those stuborn swirls on a car that jsut wont come out, will SSR3 bring it to the nextt step with a PC????? How well will SSR3 with the green 2000 edge pad work with stuborn swirls??? I never used SSR 3 before but SSR2.5 works great :)
 
I have with a megs red and it's strong stuff - the green edge has more bite than the blue if you can't get the swirls out with the pc now you might not be generating enough heat to address them and a more aggresive product may not be the answer - a rotary with ssr2 would probably due the trick - some things the PC just can't do :)
 
SSR3 is a very aggressive product. I would work it witha polishing pad and let it break down fully. It does break down pretty quickly, but I think a cutting pad would be a bit much and possibly cause some damage to the finish.

Like groebuck said, a PC just may not be powerful enough to do that job. you may have to step up to a rotary and SSR 2.
 
SSR3 is a very aggressive compound. It does work well but only with a rotary in the right hands. Not a novice product.

:yeah You're taking the right steps though - letting the product do the work not the pad, but it is probably time to step up to a rotary. I have some DEEP scratches and some very long scratches that I've SSR3'd with my PC equivalent without super success. The DEEP ones will just be softened as I'm running out of courage with my clearcoat at stake. I have just bought a rotary and have some Edge 2000 pads on the way. If this followed by some finishing with the PC doesn't work I make play with wet sanding - I wont use 1200 like I did on my first go the other week, it was on a practice panel thankfully and took a REALLY long time to get back to orignal look. I used 3 x hits with the PC and SSR3 incidently.

Just my 2c
 
I've used SSR3 with a cutting pad on my PC more than once without issue.......little to no haze or marring, I follow up with SSR1 to be sure though. Proof :) :
 
Before you try the SSR3, try SSR 2.5 with a yellow edge pad with PC. This combo produced rotary like results for me.
 
I've used SSR3 with a rotary to get out 1500 wetsanding marks out with great success. As always, I would suggest the proper levels below this for optimum results.
