It's hard to tell what to use because we can't see any imperfections in the paint. My guess is that there are moderate swirls on the paint which SSR2.5 and a white polishing pad will remove. Work that in until it is clear and then follow up with SSR1 with a polishing or finishing pad. Check out the link in my signature for tips when using the SSRs. Good luck.

What ever polish you will be using, always start with the least aggressive that goes for the pads as well. Example:Poorboy's, use white pad first, if it doen't get the results you are looking for then go with the orange. After a few details you will know what polish and what pads to use by looking at the paint's condition.

Budman3, I don't understand.
Autogeek says:
"CCS Orange 6.5 inch Light Cutting Pad
Firm, high density foam for scratch and defect removal. Use this pad with polishes and swirl removers. It’s an all around pad that will work on most light to moderate imperfections."

and you said:
"there are moderate swirls on the paint which SSR2.5 and a white polishing pad will remove."

Why would I use SSR2.5 (that removes light to moderate imperfections) with the white pad instead of the orange?

And after the polish I don't need to put a paint sealent or wax?
