SSR2 for German paint?
I'm going to detail a black VW Passat soon. It looks pretty good, but has some problem areas from tree sap residue and other stuff, particualry on the hood.
I heard German paint is different, e.g., soft clear coat. Is SSR2 suitable for German paint or should I use AIO? |

I would go with the AIO to start with, its all chemical cleaning anyway....(try on a small area)
If that doesnt cut it, go with the SSR2....... What are you sealing with ?

So I guess I should have asked is SSR2 primarly a "chemical" cleaner or a "physical" cleaner? |

From your description, it seems to be contaminants on the paint. I thought Poorboy's SSR line was for swirl removal. SSR = Super Swirl Remover. If you mean too aggresive, that's not the problem. That CMA article suggest compounds with physical abrassives, e.g. DACP, isn't the best choice. Whether or not DACP is the best choice, I have no idea. It very definitely has physical abrasives, though. On Meguiar's scale of 1 to 10 for abrasives, DACP is a 6. For comparison, the Meg's swirl removal products are a 3. A good cleaner such as AIO might do the trick, but then again, it may not. Maybe Poorboy's Professional Polish would work. Tree sap can be a real problem. IMO, I do think I would try to remove it with chemicals first rather than abrasives. Charles |

:yeah
if swirls are not the problem then all you need is something like Professional Polish or PwC... sounds to me that PwC would be the product you really want.. German paints are harder and not softer..harder the clearcoat=easier it scratches...

Poorboy ...
Please explain ... "..harder the clearcoat=easier it scratches..." I would think it would be ... softer the clear coat = easier it scratches.
