I don't see how this is possible. Every panel I've done with SSR 3 and the yellow cutting pad, it's had a hazy shine to it, just like the bottle said it would have. Am I not running the buffer on for long enough, or fast enough? Are you suppose to wipe off the left over material off the panel and what with?

I've gotten pretty decent results one most of the panels accept for the hood, I can't get it to shine worth a darn.

I've been using the following proceedure
ssr3 yellow wolfgange
ssr2.5 orange
ssr1 white

Yep, that pic was after 2 passes of the SSR3 with a yellow cutting pad.

Are you using a rotary or an orbital buffer?
Here is a pic of the RO that I'm using,



When I use the SSR3, I spritz the pad, apply three coin sized dobs of polish and start it out on the slowest speed setting to work the polish in. Then once the polish has full coverage, I crank up the speed to max and keep polishing away until there is hardly any polish residue left. Then I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and start on the next bit.

I'm planning on using a similar approach to yours but I'm going to try;
2 x SSR3 - yellow pad
2 x SSR2.5 - orange pad
1 x SSR2.5 - white pad
2 x SSR1 - white pad
2 x Pro-Polish - grey pad
3+ x EX-P - blue pad

I know that it's a lot of polishing, but I think of it as some quality time with power tools when I can't hear my wife....
