Okay I have a black Acura to do (Family member) tons of swirls and light scratches.This is what I have now.

Poorboys SSR I & SSR II

CCS Yellow & Orange pads


So should I start with the less abrasive pad and SSR II or start with the stronger pad and the SSR I ?

Thanks

Try the least aggressive method and if it doesn't work, step it up a notch :)

I would do the same, and start with something light like ultimte compound or what your using and a section pass with moderate pressure. If the swirls are not removed, step it up to something heavier

:iagree:

while the poorboys generally have good products, you might want to go with something like megs/wolfgang/menzerna for a polish/swirl remover.

while i fell victim to Klasse AIO as being a good all around product, i found it didn't have the bite on an orange pad for some minor swirls on a BMW...for me, next time i would try the duragloss 105/501 or menzerna PO203.

Ive always had luck on any kinda clear (soft/hard) with wolfgang. :dblthumb2:

On a DA I take a test spot and I start with M205 on a Finishing pad ->Polishing Pad->Light Cutting Pad. If that progression doesn't work->M105 on a Polishing Pad->Light Cutting Pad->Surbuff Pad.

UC is by no means light.

SSR 2 is rated as a medium polish (4/10) same as M205 and Ultimate Compound is rated as a agressive polish (8/10)

Hi Gang!!! I have just opened my bike detailing shop in Jamestown, LA. I own two gorgeous black Harleys. I am good on everything but swirl marks. I can make them not as noticeable but, I have a custom bike coming that is covered in marks. This bike's paint job is totally cool and I do not want to screw it up. Any suggestions from a bike detailer would be so appreciated.
