I have SSR1, PP, PwC, and Ex, plus some 3M Finesse-It Fine Cut. Also have the white polishing pad from Lake Country, and a coulpe of Meg`s Waffle Pads (don`t like them that much). The car shines, but I can see swirls in certain light/angles.
    My 2 cents -

    SSR1 with a cutting pad doesn`t seem like a good match to me. SSR1 is designed to remove light swirls and marring. A cutting pad may actually serve to worsen a decent finish. SSR1 with a polishing pad would be a better fit. Step up to SSR2 with a polishing pad for a bit more abrasiveness. SSR2 with a cutting pad would be the next step up beyond that.

    You mentioned that you also have Pro Polish. I find that Pro Polish is a very versatile product whose level of aggressiveness can be significantly altered by varying the application method. It is also better equipped to handle oxidation problems that are common with red colors. If you don`t want to purchase any additional products at this time, try PP in place of SSR2 in the procedure noted above.

    :yeah

    aheyn....what you are trying to accomplish is leveling the surface...polishing in a back and forth motion, going from side to side on the trunk for instance would be a first pass and then a second pass following wind patern(front to back) , even by hand this will slowly level the surface removing the swirls and spider webbing look. Some may be so deep that they will lessen but never come out, and that is when you need to detrermine if you can live with them or start to hide them with glazes and fillers temporarily.

    SSR1 is a light duty abrasive which can be used like a final polish or glaze. Carnauba products and most synthetic waxes can be applied directly over top of SSR1 with good results. SSR2 will remove more moderate surface imperfections and should be followed up with a less abrasive polish (SSR1, PP, PwC) for best results.

    Without seeing your car`s finish, it`s hard to say which products would be better for your situation. It would be helpful if you could post pictures like Aheyn did above.

    I`ve used IP to remove most of my light scratches using meguiars polishing pad. How deep are your swirls/spider webs? Usually i work on a small section at a time with a decent amount of time. I work on the product until it`s almost gone. I feel like when IP is worked in properly and a good amount of time, it removes more defect than the DACP. If IP with a polishing pad wouldn`t do it, use a cutting pad to get more bite. If it still not enough, menzerna powergloss will be your best bet.

    The spiderwebbing is very faint - not to the extent of the photos here. - I have some ugly etched spots though!!

    Until it`s almost gone ... hmmm. Maybe, I`m not working it long enough.

    What speed do you generally use?

    When using swirl removing types of products, I generally start around PC speed 2 to spread the product over the surface. Then, I increase the speed to about 5 to work the product.
