First I need to thank awd330 marj for putting my pics on disc so I could share them.
Second I know nothing about photography and tried a bunch of angles...

Nice job! I like the reflections. Was the SSR 2.5 followed up with SSR1 or PP or PwC? What about EX or EX-P?

Steve...please let me know when you have SSR 2.5 available.

With Aloha,

Steve, did you use any SSR 2.5 on the driveway to get some of those swirls/cracks out! Just kidding, it looks great. I guess I will be starting X-mas list early.

Steve - Next time, remind me to resize the pictures for you.

the first two pictures are after SSR2.5

after we did the whole truck...ok let's back up

first we washed with some new shampoo at the local do it yourself wash and some new chenille mitts...

(some of you may remember a lost thread called nightmare on Staten Island..same truck)

then the truck was dried with waffle weaves

next it was clayed since this is a daily driver and left outdoor in some industrial fall out areas.

at this point there was some swirls left from a valient try with the rotary by one of our beloved member of this forum, but the holigrams were driving the owner :crazy

they were very easy to see and attack...

I used SSR2.5 on the foam pc pad @ 5-5.5 until it basically became clear....I spent a good 4-5 minutes on each 2x2 section

the truck was quite impressive after the SSR2.5 but there were still some fine swirls and a few holigrams, but they had to be searched for.

we then went over the whole truck with SSR1 , at speeds of 4-5
with another sponge polishing pad...

there was very little spiderwebbing that could be seen at this point and then a coat of PwC was applied ...

the truck at this point was stunning , there were no more spiderwebs to be seen, no more holigrams and I wanted to quit there....

this is a f250 extended cab with a full size bed...I was tired but
curious too:naughty...
I applied by hand EX-P on a bed panel...let it dry for 15 minutes and wiped off...it was super slick and really shiny

those are the last two pics...

the owner seen in the pictures, liked the look, so he applied it to the rest of the truck...

we did find an interesting point...that EX-P applied by hand leaves a slicker surface than if applied by pc, which he did to the rest of the truck....

ps...anyone like the side view mirrors..(new product in testing:naughty)

I've tried a couple side by side comparisons. From my observations, DACP and SSR2.5 have equal scratch and swirl removal capabilities. However, SSR2.5 does not leave behind as much surface marring and may not require a final polish as a follow-up step. Without hesitation, SSR2.5 would be my choice.
