    hmmm, if you have to polish EVERYTIME you want to apply the NXT? i mean, i polished my mom`s car last week, and i dont wanna spend another 4 hours polishing it again all over, just to add the NXT. i mean, if i had polished the car 2-3 weeks ago, then i washed it, and tired applying the wax (maybe some clay too), would that work?

    If ya gots the scratches, ya gots to polish again and maybe AGAIN. Wax or sealant simply will not remove them or cover them all that well. Regardless of the hype, NXT does not remove scratches.

    Sealants and waxes provide protection, thats it. They do not clear the paint up......Some multi purose products do that but they lack protection....

    Light scratches go with SSR1, anything heavier, try SSR2......Follow up with 1 after using 2 though....Youll be amazed....

    like i said, i used the ssr 2 and 1 (using the PC) already, and even after i went through all that work, i still saw these scratches on the hood of my mom`s car.... ill try it again this weekend, to see if there would be a different effect, and to take off any swirls that i may have accidently made.

    Tyler...

    As we talked before...You MUST throw away those cheap 50 pack terry towels you got!!! Make sure you really work SSR2 in well. Sometimes it will take 2-3 attempts to remove the subborn ones.

    Bottom line......if the SSR2 wont` remove the scratches then they can`t be removed and will have to filled with product that has fillers, or repaint the panel, or live with it. Those are the only options I know of but there could be more....like use a rotary polisher.
    Dream big and be willing to do the work to get there.

    A few questions for Zesty-Man:

    When you applied the SSR2 and SSR1, what PC speeds did you use?
    How long did you work on each panel?
    How many times did you use each product? (One coat of each? Two coats of each?)
    Are you certain that the pads were absolutely clean?
    Were the pads properly primed before use?
    Can you post some pictures of the marring?

    1. i used the fastest speed...
    2. it took me around 40ish minutes for the hood, and around 10 minutes per panel
    3. on the hood (the worst part), i used 2 coats of both the ssr2 and the ssr1
    4. im prety certain the pads were clean, beceause i just opened them..
    5. i beileve the pads were properly primed before usingf
    6. i got no digital camera , but ill try to go out and buy one this weekend.

    I probably would have run the PC at a slower speed for SSR1 (4-4.5), but it otherwise sounds like you followed the proper series of steps. The only further suggestions I can provide are to use high quality microfiber towels for removing the residue, and possibly move up to a slightly more abrasive product (SSR2.5 or DACP) and/or a more aggressive pad (cutting). Beyond that, it`s likely that you will need to find a rotary expert for more serious paintwork correction.

    Weren`t you the person who was planning to purchase Poorboy`s products from Ranney @ PakShak? If so, maybe you could have Ranney take a look and make some recommendations? :dunno
