That or Poorboys SSR3.

That I can't comment on as I have the old formula. But it works fine. I think I've heard that the new formula is more suited for the rotary, but will work fine with the PC. I know there were mixed reports on whether you can go straight to lsp from OHC. Not sure if it depends on the time allowed, or the paint. I thought it finished well on my first car (dark teal), but then on my black car I had to do a pass with the polish. I have a feeling that those who say it isn't good for a PC just haven't given it enough working time. Otherwise you can't beat this stuff as there is no dusting at all.

It shouldn't be a problem, but I've used a Meg's compound, that is for rotary use, but with enough time and pressure, you can get it to break down.

I would try PB SSR3 first, but order both, just in case, and in the future, you have it. Make another pass with XMT #3, nice slow, and apply a great deal of pressure and see how it comes out. I would bet it comes out a lot better, and you just need #2/#1 to fix anything left.

For now, I would gain more experience before you use a compound, or anything in that range. SSR3 would be the highest I would suggest, until you get more experience using the PC.


Good luck bud..

I know I'm still new with the PC, but I've messed around on 5 vehicles already and feel pretty confident.

I probably will order both the SSR 3 and OHC. Since I'm going to be doing this as a side business in the spring, I want to be able to have a very heavy cutting compound for worst case scenarios. Also, I'd rather not use a ton of pressure on the PC and would rather have a heavier compound that would still require another light polish over that.

Pressure generates the heat needed to break down the polish, along with the correct speed.

Don't skimp on the pressure, 10-15lbs of pressure on the head is NEEDED to break down the polish...

Very nice, you are positively getting it! Great Job.
