SSR vs. PP What's the difference?

So, instead of using pp to clean the finish, could I use one of the ssr's to clean and fix?

Some things you just have to try and see how they work. :-p
 
carglow, that would depend on usage...many people tend to use toooo much PP and not work it far enough...when used properly they are equally easy to remove :D

Which is the more abrasive to get tar off of tailpipes and paint?

From my experience using both, I would go straight to PP for tar removal on tailpipes. I would use a terry cloth towel and a few dabs of PP, rub lightly allowing the PP to do the work. I like to keep the pressure light so that the product is almost dwelling on the tar. I then increase pressure and wipe clean.

So the proper method of using PP with a PC is to work it until you can hardly see it?

very good answer:bigups

yes carglow that would be right, but remember not to put tooo much PP on the pad :)
 
Thanks, Poorboy

One last question ... ha, ha! probably NOT!

Do you subscribe to groebuck's method of:
clean the finish - pp
fix the finish - ssr
oooooooooh the finish - PwC

On heavily oxzided finishes would PP "load up" your polishing pad? Wouldn't you need something more aggressive than PP?
 
absolutely...groebucks methods are for well maintained cars and has proven excellent...if it was heavily oxidized you'd need to move to at least SSR2 and would probably be a candidate for the new SSR2.5...
