3M super duty rubbing compound....

[tommyortom]

I think my friend has some of this that i can use. im using a porter cable....so if im going to be compounding/cutting with this, should i use an orange or most aggresive foam pad, or should i try a wool pad?



also....is this stuff strong than SSR 2.5??

That's a 1000grit leveling compound, mainly intended for bodyshop finishing after wetsanding. It's easily on par with if not stronger than SSR3. You could in theory use it via PC, but honestly, if you aren't using it with a rotary, it is just going to be a headache. If it were me, I would use the super duty by hand on major scratches and scuffs (and you *can* go through paint by hand, don't ask me how I know), then do the entire car with SSR2.5/orange cutting followed by SSR1/white polishing. If you need to use a heavy compound via PC, Menzerna PowerGloss is really the only way to go.
