I probably wouldn't recommend using SSR3 with an orbital. I use it but only with a rotary and I'm pretty careful with pad choice. You can install a haze that is difficult to remove when using a PC.
 
be careful you don't cut clean through the clear with that SSR 3. What you will have is a full cutting pad and the most aggresive polish/compound that steve makes. that sounds dangerous to me. If you have your mind made up about cutting so much maybe you will try the SSR 2.5 with the yellow pad first. It sounds like you are heading toward the same mistake that I had made early on,(cutting through) experience takes time, slow down and let time take time. I'm not trying to tell you what to do but making a suggestion. don't try to leap from the middle of the ladder to the top, try a few more combinations. if you are going to use the SSR 3 maybe you should use a lighter pad to start with.

I was told that SSR 3 is like liquid sandpaper, if it is anything like the 3M super duty compound that I have it won't take long at all to cut clean through the paint and into the primer. I hope some of this helps. TD
 
Pictures would help. But first make sure you are using the 2.5 to the max. I sometimes have to hit a panel twice. But the PC 2.5 and orange pad, is able to handle lots, but is not the most aggressive combo available.

How are you working the SSR2.5?

Remember, amount of product, pad, pressure, arm speed machine speed, all make a noticable difference.
 
ok your right guys i just really wanna make my car look nice irecently had to take my baby off the road my g35 and put it in storage and detailing that was my hobby so im going crazy with out it so i wanted to practice on my escort. how this sound guys i go to a yellow pad with ssr2.5 and make a few passes with that hows that and i am gonna be attending the detail weekend
