I have the das6 pro and i assume its ok to apply SRP with this. Questions is how do i apply it? What speed should it be on and how much pressure and how many passes?
No dont do it. SRP will dry to quick, best to do it by hand,,,, :thumb:
If your looking to remove swirl marks then use a proper swirl remover polish, like the MEGS mf system or even the Gtechnic P1...
far better results, SRP is good as a filling polish, wont remove the majority of swirls though... just fill them in....
SRP works so much better when used with a DA.
To prolong the work time of SRP when applying by DA, all you need to do is to lightly mist the pad/panel.
I lightly mist the panel as I find that works best for me :thumb:.
SRP is NOT only a filling polish....it also has a slight cutting ability if worked to it's full potential......even by hand.
?? You've lost me, a fully corrected car as stated will see little benefit from a layer of SRP with gloss levels or filling as it has been corrected....a glaze would add gloss, SRP would add no extra gloss than the wax then being applied.
Difference being Tripple isn't going to cover your car in white dust that you're then gonna have to dig out of every crevice.......
And SRP's protection isn't really up to much IMO.......
And Tripple is a far superior AIO anyway IMO..........
But hey, we can agree to disagree..........Pal....:lol:
SRP won't dust unless YOU the user over apply it :wall: :wall: it's a common misconception that SRP is dusty, if you use it properly it doesn't dust at all.
I used the new SRP with a CG finishing pad on speed 3 and it seemed just fine and virtually no dust. To be honest its no quicker than doing by hand but i wanted to see if it made any difference by machine. My car though is a crap colour and doesnt show that well. After the correction the car didnt look any glossier but it certainly doesnt have any swirl marks anymore and that was the goal so pretty happy. its still a learning curve for me and now i am just a bit more wise and knowledgable.
Try SRP with a polishing pad on speed 4/5 and don't forget to lightly mist the panel with water to prolong work time. Less pressure on the last couple of passes.
You will find it quicker and better results than by hand :thumb:.
I tend to use SRP after a correction because I find it cleanses the paint pretty well which sets a base coat for a LSP. I also find its not a problem using it with a DA on a glazing/finishing pad on a slow speed.
You can't beat a good pre-wax cleaner on a DA. I've never tried SRP but Carlack is unbelievable on a dual action.
Carlack Nano Systematic care in conjunction with a Optimum microfiber polishing pad is probably the quickest most satisfying one step product you could ever wish for. Unbelieveable cleaning power and the most durable AIO on the market. It was like the pad and polish were designed for each other.
I don't get too much time to keep on top of my van lately but I keep it clean. It was only half way through I thought I should be taking pictures, but the colour of the pad tells it's own story.
I really think using the microfiber pad made all the difference to the cleaning and finish. The beauty of using a DA is including buffing after it off took about half an hour and you couldn't dream of getting close to the finish by hand. The bonus being the optimum pads are mega durable so you can just put it in the machine after.
By coincidence i just made an order for these.
I wanted to use them along with Menzerna 106, but i don't have alot of time and might just go the way You cleaned Your car.
I'll pipe up one more time.......... (disclaimer) 'personally, in my humble opinion' there are better AIO's out there, I'm a Werkstat Prime fan myself but then I have a white car so was using the Acrylic Jett too, Prime cleans so well it's literally visible on my white panels, a 50/50 leave it looking like 2 different coloured whites!
I used SRP with a DA and a 3M Yellow Pad on my Caravan when I first bought it and it cured all the issues it had and left a really good shine that I then protected with Reload
If it doesn't say 'New Formula' on the SRP bottle then it will leave lots if white powder, the new formula is much much better and leaves very little powder.

Still can't understand why you would want to use a paint cleaner after polishing, the paint will be pretty clean by then.
Most sealants willl not adhere well to another product and prefer bare paint.
Think people are blinded by products and apply srp, glaze, sealant and wax and wonder why it does not look to good. It is too many products.
Polish car and correct, IPA wipe down, add sealant or wax say 2 coats and job done.
What about for people like me (a newbie) who didnt do full correction but say 90% and just wanted the SRP to fill the remaining marks? To be fair if i can leave out the SRP then bonus its one less job to do.
So after polishing with the menzerna polish best thing to do is an IPA wipedown (what dilution rate) and then go straight ahead with applying HD Wax?
