I got rid of all this and go 100% Meguiars as well.

I didn't care for the SSRs myself, but I kinda like the Spray & Wipe. And QD is QD, I haven't found one yet that didn't work just fine.
TomAs the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.Comment

wow, superior shine
Hi,
It was pretty cool receiving a response from you guys...LOVE your work. That sure was a lot of inventory!! I just find that the ssr2.5 is too dry and flakes everywhere, which makes me thinks there are white spots I didn't remove by buffing. Since you guys are so good (and if you don't mind), I have a few questions:
--Say you make a pass with 83 as your first step with a yellow pad and it doesn't come out to your liking. Do you apply 83 again w/the yellow pad or move up to the maroon pad? I am having this problem right now.
--Most follow up 83 with 80. Do you follow up 83 with 9? This is what I have. Any disadvantages to doing this. My logic is that there shouldn't be much more of an advantage of dropping from 6 to 4 on the cut scale to warrant buying #80 online vs. going from 6 to 3 in cut scale and buying #9 at my local pep boys.
--what is your rule of thumb for giving up on a defect? If you can fit your fingernail in it? If you try 84/85 (with maroon pad) and it doesn't come out? How much extra cutting power does wool give you over maroon foam and what would you recommend wool pads for?
-i am doing a black vette similar to the AMAZING blue one you guys did with 80 and NXT. Did you use pc or rotary? I, unlike most, did not get the pc to use for a while before upgrading to rotary. I got both at the same time and dove in head first. My fav is easily my hitachi rotary and my pc is more for applying #21.
--do you guys use the pc as a finishing tool? example
83 via rotary (maroon)
9 via rotary (yellow)
9 via pc (yellow)
7 via hand
21 and/or 26
i've heard of people using the pc to take out marring caused by the rotary. even if you are super careful/skilled, should this extra step be taken (the 2nd #9 application)?
Keep up the good work. Look forward to more of your pic posts.Comment

I would love to answer but if I do and proceed in an off topic direction Storm Trooper Phillips will be angry- LOL!
Post this in the rotary (or???) forum.
We need to keep this one about "for sale or trade".Comment
