Question about SSR2.5

I just got some SSR2.5. I tried a little on one of my bumpers. But i noticed that i could feel some of the abrasives when i put it on my finger, like very little grains of sand. Is that normal? I know SSR2 i can't feel the abrasives and also DACP.

For those who have used both DACP & SSR2.5, what is the difference? which one is easier to use with a PC?

Yes, it is normal to be able to feel some "grit" with SSR2.5. If you rub it between your fingers, you will notice that it quickly breaks down into a smooth lotion. This is the concept of diminishing abrasives. SSR2 is not as strong as SSR2.5, so the abrasive particles are not as obvious.

I have used DACP and SSR2.5 and most definitely prefer the 2.5. It's far easier to break down, wipes off easily, and does not create any additional micromarring.
 
Along the lines of what Marj has said already, DACP and SSR2 use more chemicals to remove the swirls and such, whereas SSR2.5 will use a physical diminishing abrasive. I have found that it takes a shorter amount of time with the PC to work in with SSR2.5 than SSR2 and way less than DACP.
 
Nick,

I don't have any SSR2, so I'm not sure of it's make up. However, DACP, also uses abrasives (diminishing abrasives).
 
Dave, your right. I probably should have said "main component" against fighting swirls. Meg's I believed coined the diminishing abrasive, but if you feel the the textures of DACP and SSR2.5, there is definitely a difference. It's been my experience that it takes a longer time to work in a chemical as opposed to a physical abrasive.....look at Pro Polish too. I don't think a pure chemical polish could remove moderate swirls.
 
Yea Nick, a chemical cleaner will only take care of very minor spider webs. It's more the action (abrasiveness) of the applicator/pad that does the swirl remover when using chemical cleaners.

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to trying the SSR2.5, as it sounds like a fine product. To be honest, I am a little concerned about "how fast" everybody claims it breaks down. I don't like a product that breaks down to fast, as it's the "diminishing" process that......... polishes...... polishes finer........ polishes even finer. The abrasives have to stay at a certain level for a period of time in order to do accomplish that step down polishing process.

Nevertheless, I will be giving the SSR2.5 a try, and see what I think! :D
