SSR1 feel after removal

I've been having a wonderful experience applying and removing SSR2.5. After I finished, I started on SSR1. Goes on pretty easy, but I honestly can't tell when it dusts... but it does remove easily.

But, I noticed when I run my MF towel over a section that I just did with 1 versus a section only done with 2.5, the 1 area seems to drag the towel every so slightly more than the 2.5 areas. Has anyone else noticed this?
 
I just did my car - using 2 and then 1 - deep wet and glossy after one, but it was not as "slick" after 2 - I would attribute that to 1 getting of any remaining residue of products and what not - it feels smooooth but not slick - just like it should! :)
 
The final polishes (excluding vm), tend to make the
finish a little grabby. I've found this to be true
with HT-light cut, PB SSR1, and Menzerna FPII.

I think there is also a relation between the pad
used when doing the polish. I have found (at least
with FPII) that the feel you get will differ depending
upon whether you use a polish pad or a finish pad.

Speaking to Steve, he does recommend using a finish
pad with SSR1. I am sure that will have an effect on
how the paint feels as well.
 
I do not want a slick feel after SSR 1 because I use it as a final step product before applying a sealant like UPP ... (I like the look better than applying AIO then UPP) ... It tells me that the surface is clean.

What is your reason for not wanting a slick feeling surface before using a wax or sealant?

IMHO having slick surface or feel before using wax or sealant makes the application and removal easier.

If the surface is slick that tells me that there is oil, wax, silicone or polymer, etc. on the surface. A sealant will not bond as well to oils, silicones or waxes. It does however bond well to finishes that have the same properties as the sealant. Waxes on the other hand will bond to some oils and other products. So, in my opinion, if the surface is perfectly clean, then it will not be slick until a product is put on it to make it that way.
I know I am rambling but my brain is shutting down for the day.
