Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?

Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?
anywhere between 1200-1800 depending on the compound, the pad, the area of the car, the PTG readings etc. With 105 I normally run right around 1500, Power Gloss about 1800, and Four Star HCC about 1500.

Re: Rotary guys, what RPM do you use when removing heavy swirls?
That depends on which product I am using, if I am using Poorboy's SSRs I run it at around 1800 RPM so that it breaks down properly plus the working time is much longer than some other polishes.
Recently I started using M-105 and tried those speeds and it didn't work at all so after reading up on it I discovered that around 1000-1100 RPM is working the best for me with a spritz of water on the panel half way through the buffing cycle to reactivate the product.
I was amazed at how fast M-105 corrects at those speeds with the misting of water on the panel half way through the cycle.
I was using an orange LC VC 6" pad.

Wow, Meguiars recommends 1500-2000 with M105. Does SSR3 break down fairly quickly? Does it cut and finish as well as M105?

1200 here give or take 300rpm depending.

Cool. I didn't realize such low RPM's with M105 can do so good!

I've been out in the studio working with the new Flex PE 14 and the new 1-Pad System pads and was effectively removing defects at 600 RPM with the most aggressive wool cutting pad and M105
Just testing, not stating this is how I do it or how anyone should do it... just testing as this is a very aggressive wool pad.
Normally I stay right around 1400 to 1500 RPM for cutting with a compound. Heat isn't good or necessary for abrasives or paint, it's an unwanted by-product of the process.
When working with diminishing abrasives, it's not the heat that is needed it's pressure over time. The result of pressure over time to a contained area is heat.

They tell me that SSR3 is Rocks in a bottle so I never bought or even tried it. when I was buying Poorboy's Products I went with SSR 2.5 for defect removal and with the rotary it breaks down within 3 to 4 section passes at 1500-1800 RPM.
