SSR 2.5 is just under UC in terms of cut. Either UC or SSR 2.5 with Orange should do well.

I can't really tell from the small picture if what you were seeing was micro maring vs swirls. Remember you were using a compound that reaally needs to be followed up with a polish. Sometimes you just have to play with different techniques and products on a test spot to see what works for you.

If you feel your paint is soft try a less abrasive compound or just go to a polish. I prefer M205 because this one polish has many different sides based on the pad you use. Before you get frustrated make sure you polish your compound area hopefully it's a small test spot. Try a less aggressive pad although white pads usually finish down very well.

I'd also recommend reading this post

I see RIDS.

What did your test spot reveal for you to make this statement?

SSR 2.5 is just under UC in terms of cut. Either UC or SSR 2.5 with Orange should do well.

From the charts I have seen SSR 3 is closer to UC
UC is almost m105 level


I thought it was start with the least abrasive and go from there?
Poorboy's polish and sealant is a one step I was hoping that would be enough.

I don't have anything in between a PB Polish Sealant and Megs Ultimate Compound
So im thinking SSR2 2.5 or Megs PF2500 or ????????

I think you need more cut.

105/205 come to mind

And yellow, orange, white pad

Least aggressive first.

I then would go with an ultra fine polish and blue pad to Jeweling.

"Side note: I've been wanting the Brinkmann light but they are on back order"

Yellow pad, 205 then 105 last (I think)

Anybody want to post the steps he should take, from least aggressive to more aggressive? And pad switching?

To help him and other Detailer's reading this?

I know AmmoNyc "Drive" clean talked about this" and jeweling, and Mike Phillips

[hernandez.art13]

If I was you I would go with

205 > white
205 > orange

But then not sure if it's safer to

Go
205>yellow
Or
105>white?

Anybody know?
