SSR range

Today I used the SSR range for the first time (ordered in november, freezing cold....now the weather is getting better...)



Those SSR 1-2-2.5-3 are soooo easy to use with a rotary...

No sling, no splatter, no dusting.

The pads stay "moist" the whole time, just an occasional rinse in a bucket when they're fully loaded, set the rotary on 6 an just trow the excess water away.



I found the SRR series very easy to use with a damp pad (damp=after setting the speed on 6 to get rid of the excess water)



SSR 3 really can tackle scratches, altough, there are scratches that are not completely gone, probably needed more time or a more agressive pad.



SSR 2 and 2.5 take easy care on swirls, overspray and light scratches



SSR 1 was used as the last step (for polishing that is) to get rid of the haze an the occasional holograms.



In other words :



Top products !

glad that you had good luck with the products. You definitely know how much product to use if you are using a damp pad for the SSR line. It certainly helps make the product that much more aggressive.



Have read that Steve cautions the use of water when using the SSR line. I know that is why I have purchased so many differnet pads so as not to have to add any water to the pad in order to control the products use.
 
After about 1/3 of a normal car, the pad get's filled up with product.

So I rinse them in lukewarm water and dry them on my rotary @ 3000 rpm (free in the air of course)

Then I use that slightly damp pad to go further with my polishing actions...
 
I read somewhere that Poorboy (Steve) recommends using a try pad with his SSR line. He said (If I remember correctly) that a damp pad makes the SSR's dry out more quickly giving you less time to work the product in to the finish.

I agree, I remember Steve telling me not to damp the pad too.



Where you been raven? Haven't see you posting in a while.
 
IIRC, damp pads dilute the lubricants in the SSR lineup, causing the polishes to be more aggressive. It's good to hear that you've had good luck with SSRs on a rotary, I could never get them to work well on anything but a DA.
 
Johnny, I was away on an extended business trip to Thailand. Didn't have any time for detailing or posting, was busy as hell. But I'm home now and getting back into my favorite hobby.
