Which PBs polish is closest to DACP?

SSR2 is very, very similar--but easier to remove!

nick, is dacp harder to remove than SG? i am very familiar with SG and it is a pain to remove!

DACP isn't TOO bad if you make sure you use a PC at 5-6 and let it buff in until it is really clear. SG is a pain--especially in the sun!

gotcha, why many companies never thought about the elements (like the sun) when creating detailing products is beyond me. gotta love poorboys for that!

Thick I'm going to try SSR2. I have a heavily oxidized black Tacoma to do next week.

Hope I can make it shine with my PC and SSR2 + PwC + EX + S100.

Carglow, you will probably need a step down polish that does a bit better than PwC. Do you have SSR1 or Pro Polish? SSR2 is strong and good stuff, but I would suggest a final polish of some sort before PwC as your base.

The Regimen looks good that you have---definitely post some pics!

Thanks for the tip Nickc0844.

I'll pick up some SSR1 and SSR2.

Presently I have PwC and EX.

I'm surprised SSR2 is as aggressive as DACP. Thought SSR3 might be similar, but I've never tried either ... so I'll go with SSR2 first.

DACP is in between SSR2 and SSR3 in terms of abrasiveness. My guess would be that the prototype SSR2.5 would be closer to DACP.

Start with SSR2 on your typical polishing pad....if this isn't cutting it, bump up the abrasiveness on your pad, then hit it again after buffing off with SSR2 on the polishing pad. Revere down to SSR1 (gives a wet look, where as Pro Polish is more clear), then to PwC.

You'll have yourself a killer car afterwards!!
