Hi and welcome to our forum ........

After SSR3 (I'm guessing you used a cutting pad) I would go over it again quickly with SSR3 and a white polishing pad. Then follow with SSR2 or SSR2.5 with a polishing pad or 1-2 passes with the orange pad first if the hazing is really bad. A few passes may be needed at at least a speed of 5 or 6. when your hazing is gone, then use the PwS with a polishing pad and work it well ...you do not have to wait to put the EX on once you are satisfied with the finish.

thanks for the welcome/quick answer
the car is red ( not as bad as black).i looked at it today in the sun ,the haze is not as bad as i though,still small amount of shine comming through but still have small amount of spider left ,maybe 15%,i was thinking of doing ssr 2 or ssr 2.5 with orange cutting pad ,then doing pws ,what do you think,
yes the ssr 3 was done with orange cutting pad,what would be the reason to go back with the ssr3 with polish pad white,just curious
thanks again for the advice

SSR3 with polishing pad would be a milder step, sort of easing your way into SSR2 or 2.5 instead of working the 2/2.5 harder to "fix" the haze from 3.

I would stay away from the orange pad after you finish your "corrective" polishing, as you may re-introduce hazing after you remove it with a polishing pad and previous SSR. (I've introduced haze with an orange pad and Polish with Sealant, so the orange pad is fairly aggressive regardless of which polish you are using.
