AG SRP, really have to use by hand???

I use it via PC on a 4" finishing pad, applied with chemical resistant spray dispenser.



I've just re-discovered this stuff and really like it, but the smell....... :shocked
 
Heh heh, I sorta *like* the smell. Reminds me of childhood art classes. SRP + #16 makes for a nostalgic detailing experience.



Since SRP is *so* easy to use by hand, I don't see any big loss in not having a PC to apply it :nixweiss
 
:o - sorry I thought we were talking about EGP, then I read the title again :doh



Hence why my post probably made no sense :chuckle:



I use SRP by hand and PC (when I'm near a power source), but perfer PC with either a polish or finishing pad.
 
I agree with Nick - I prefer SRP with the PC - it seems to work the product in very very thin (so you can barely see it on the surface) and it wipes off with ease and without the powdering which is easy to get when you apply by hand.
 
None - I think the two are made to complement each other. I think the EGP is basicaly the same 'resins', but without the cleaning ingredients (if that makes sense)



I think (and I have done) you can apply EGP straight after removing SRP residue - in fact there are some who apply the EGP with the SRP still on!! - i.e. before you remove the SRP residue - apply the EGP over the lot. I have never tried this, but apparently it is good.
 
This is exactly what I did last night. I applied the SRP and let it sit for about 40 minutes whilst I worked on the interior and then applied some EGP directly on top of the SRP without any buffing. Half an hour later I buffed the EGP. Total time spent on the paint - less than 10 minutes.
 
I find that when SRP is applied by PC, it seems to work the product fully - making it so thin you can barely see it on the paint. This means that when you go to remove it, there is no dust at all - it just wipes off with no fuss or mess and leaves a good finish behind.



I agree it does dust a lot when used by hand though. I think it must be difficult to get to the required thin coat by hand, where the PC does it just right!

No, the EGP is applied with very very light pressure. As for the dusting when applied by hand, I find a slightly dampened MF cloth removes all of the dust.
 
SRP and EGP is my go to combo on silver and I think they're fantastic products. I just which they'd change the formula of SRP so it didn't stain plastic trim so much!

i still havent tried srp yet, ive been busy. im opretty sure it doesnt cut that much right? i dont think it removes swirls and such.... any feedback and comparison to a megs #??
 
rivest777- Don't expect any cut from SRP, even on the Jag's soft lacquer, it doesn't get any paint transfer onto the applicator, at least not unless I apply unreasonable pressure. It could be thought of as very slightly more abrasive than truly "nonabrasive" products such as #7. OK, it has a *little* more bite than AIO too, but you'll never notice.



It's more of an "all in one" (think Klasse AIO ;) ) type product than #7 and will hold up fairly well by itself, though I always top it. It doesn't hide as well as #7 but is better in this regard than AIO. SRP doesn't clean (chemically) as well as AIO though.
