Rotary: Pad and Speed for SSR line?

[skylineboy]

Hi,

Today was my first detail: It was a Mercedes-Benz C220 black 220,000km 1996.

Tool:
1 White polishing pad
1 Yellow cutting pad
Makita 9227c
SSR1/2/2.5/3

Result are not really great.. So I guess my combo SSR/Speed/pad is very wrong. Can someone help me out with a ''bottomline guide'' 8)

Thank very much!!!



LEF SIDE IS THE ONE DONE. NO BIG DIFFERENCE AS YOU CAN SEE..

there is no specific guide as each finish and paint is different ..

i would first stay away from the yellow pad as it can leave marring of your own unless you are removing wet sanding marks or doing a vehicle on its last legs... I would only use SSR3 with a white polishing pad or finishing pad ... use SSR2.5 with either an orange light cutting pad or white polishing pad ... use SSR1 with a finishing pad ... speed should be 5+ when working any of the SSR's with a PC and about 1200-1500+ when using a rotary ...work the product no matter which pad or machine until the product is practically gone and the shine is popping through after each pass...
