Hey folks,
I was helping a friend remove dealer-installed swirls on a black 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo via PC and Poorboy`s SSRs.
I was getting a ton of hazing from SSR 2.5, and when I tried to clean it up with SSR1, I got rid of most of it, but some still remained. THe final product wasn`t perfect and I was bummed.
I was using the following products:
* Edge 2000 pads: orange, green, blue
* Poorboy`s SSR 1 & 2.5
I also tried at the end:
* 4" spot pads from ProperAutoCare, orange and white
Basically the results:
Edge 2000 orange + SSR 2.5: swirls removed, but the result wicked hazy (see pic I`m going to post next)
Edge 2000 blue + SSR 1: removes most haze, but still to omuch haze left. Removed like 70% of the haze, left 30%.
Edge 2000 green + SSR 2.5: I tried this because I thoguht that maybe Edge 2000 orange pad was ot breaking down SSR 2.5 enough, so maybe a more aggressive pad would, but the results were pretty much the same, just as much hazing.
In the end, I took out my 4" spot pads.
White 4" pad + SSR1: cleared up 90% of the hazing, left 10% there. Worked much better than the Edge 2000 Blue + SSR1 combination.
The thing that bothered me the most is that the Edge 2000 blue + SSR 1 didn`t remove all the hazing. Isn`t SSR1 supposed to be the final polish that leaves the surface pefect?
And why did the 4" white pad work so much better than Edge 2000 blue + SSR1??
And what product and pad should I use to leave the finish perfect? I am willing to try new pad and product to get this all cleared up (pun intended).
