if i didnt work ssr1, did it still clean the paint?

[joyriide1113]

with the whole beading frenzy i have going on with ex and some people saying it beads for them, some saying it sheets, i had redid my car last week. to clean up the prior applications of sg and ex i used ssr1. but since i didnt really need to remove swirls i just ran the pc over until it started becoming slightly transparent. then i would buff off and proceed. did ssr1 can the paint enough to apply the ex? im just wondering sicne i washed the car today, and it didnt ebad, but had the same irregular beads and dry patches.

first is your beading question a question of beading during a wash or in the rain?
It's never going to bead from the wash....washing with a hose and rain are two totally different ways of getting a car wet. IF the odd beading and dry spots are only when washing, then that is a good thing as you want the water to sheet off during a washing rinse. This will also lead to less drying time and fewer towels needed to dry.

If you thoroughly worked the SSR1 in and out of the finish, it should be enough to prepare the surface for EX....
I personally have never used SG, so removing it is not something I have experience with.
