Here are some pics and after using Poorboy's SSR's.



It's a neglected 95 or 96 Plymouth Neon - Washed, clayed then I used SSR 3 for the heavily scratches and swirls areas and SSR 2 on the rest. I then followed it with SSR 1 and S100 finished with Final Detail.



I applied all 3 SSR's in the sun using a PC with no problem, breaking down easy and SSR 1 & 2 left a nice gloss to the paint with no hazing.



I like all 3 of them, they worked perfectly in the sun but for a finishing polish (with no fillers or oils) I prefer Mezerna FP, it tends to breakdown faster. Overall Steve has some great products available that all work exceptionally well, everyone I've tried I've been happy with.



I also tried Novus 3step system on the headlights. I applied it by hand and it worked pretty good getting off all of the yellow and most of the oxidation....but it didn't do any better then Clearkote metal polish, and Plexus.:nixweiss Next time I'll try it with a PC.



Here are the pictures:

Wow, that's a great job on that neon! Why do you like the FP better?

Thanks!



For a finishing polish I prefer FP because it breaks down faster and leaves a slightly better finish. Don't get me wrong SSR 1 is a great product but I think it's tad bit more aggressive then FP.
 
Great job :up . I have used SSR1 & SSR2 and was considering purchasing SSR3. I really like Poorboys products. I currently have on order Einszett products and will try them out before I purchase SSR3. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your pictures and comments.
 
That looks great! I have to agree............ haven't been disappointed with any of Poorboy's products............. they've all worked great!
 
Hiya - a couple of quick questions on the SSR3-2-1 combo. I have a similar situation with a black ford ranger (2002). What pad did you use for the SSR3, Not 100% sure but I take it you did the scratched/bad areas in 2'x3' spots, then all over with ssr2 then ssr 1 ? thanks in advance

SSR3 is very aggressive, I used a CMA white pad with the pc @ 3.5.



I went over the SSR3 sections with SSR1 only not #2. Going over the SSR3 area with #2 to me, was not necessary because SSR1 removed any hazing left by #3. For the rest I did SSR2 followed up with SSR1. Hope that helps!



Here is a shot of the hood after half done with SSR3:

Gotta love before and after shots :D.



I am not familiar with SSR products, but they seem to do quite a job. S100 is always a champ in my book for that finishing touch.



I'm sure the owner is amazed with the results. Great Work!
 
I've been playing around with SSR1 and 2, with limited success because they aren't really meant to be used by hand and I've been getting some minor marring. Until I get a PC, I really can't use them to their full potential or do a fair review on them. Thanks for the review and the techniques you used, it will give me a basis to work from when I finally break down and get a PC.



I really like PwC, EX an Natty Paste Wax though.



Really nice work on the Neon, absolutely amazing improvement!

I know what you mean, I think if you get a PC you'll find them very useful. For me, as far as aggressiveness, they are in between the 3 I'm using now.



- SSR1 is between a SMR and a finishing polish like VM, FP

- SSR2 is between SMR and DACP and

- SSR3 is more aggressive then DACP

Plus you can use them in the sun:xyxthumbs

Thanks!



I forgot to mention what I used on the worst part of the car, the plastic textured bumpers, I used VM and it worked great and really brought them back! It actually gave them a bit of a shine:eek:
