Strange name, ain't it?
Big Leegr...you are a brave person! I wouldn't have the nuts to use SSR3 with a heay cutting pad on someone elses car.
Rosso.....in general, I agree you match the product to the pad. But, someone here (I won't mention Poorboy's names
)showed me first hand how to let the product do the work. On a black car with pretty negelcted paint I was getting nowhere with DACP and a light cut pad so I moved to a light compound and a light cut pad. It was working fairly well but there were still paint problems left behind plus the compound/light cut pad combo (not a Poorboy's compound) was leaving some haze behind as well. Steve grabbed the rotary from my hands and proceeded to use SSR3 with a white, fine polish pad at about 2500 rpm! This pad is practically a finishing pad and I've used it that way many times. The result.....an 80% improvement in the overall finish wth zero haze. All that was needed was an application of SSR1 and the paint was awesome.
I've also used Meg's Swirl Free Polish first with a polishing pad then followed up with the same polish and a finishing pad....that works very well.
