I have a emerald green honda accord. There is some flake's in the paint that give it a nice contrast. I have a pc and 2 white pads, orange, and polish pad ( forgot what color) I tried some of the ssr2.5 with a white pad and am not happy with the results. Did not really do anything. What did I do wrong. I know I put plenty of ssr2.5 on it.

What condition is the paint? If it is badly swirled or scratched you may not see much difference using a what??pad?? white polish pad???
Maybe you should see who makes your pads because that may give someone else more information to help you. I "think" your using a white "polish pad" and that would be OK. But maybe it's a Edge white FINISHING pad and that may be why you are getting "unhappy results", whatever that means.

You might want to use your more aggressive orange pad (sort of a cutting pad/polishing pad) and move the PC around sloooooooooooooowly at 4-5 speed on a small area (3'x3') or a single panel. Search for how people are using SSR2.5 and orange pads and so on.

That's all I can suggest.
 
:yeah

if your swirls are deep, then you need a more agressive pad...like SVETA said who's pads are you using?... if it was finishing pad not much would be happening...how long did you work each area, more product does NOT = better swirl removal...did you work it at speeds of 5- 5.5? did you work it until it turned to dust? ...more information is need from your techniques to give you some advice:dunno
 
I've used SSR2.5 with a yellow LC pad and with an orange LC, PC set at 5, and had very good results with both pads.

I don't know what kind of results I'd expect to get using SSR2.5 on a polishing pad (assuming you're using LC pads) but I think I'd expect better results using a more aggressive pad.
 
I will use the orange lake county pad. I just have been told to start light and if it does not work then go heavier. I am sure I will get better results with the orange pad.
