Optimum 11 or hyper

I am about ready to try some Optimum polishes as I am hearing great things about them.

I have noticed that they make Hyper Polish and non hyper polish which is noted by the roman numbers II.

Are the hyper polishes all sprays vs. the non hypers being typical liquids?

Does one version work better than the other ?

Good question and you are correct the hypers are sprays while the others are traditional liquids. And you can't go wrong with either.

Re: Optimum 11 or hyper

While I havent tried the liquid version I will be using the Hyper Polish as soon as my weather clears up in my area. Ive read good things on it also and cant wait to use it.

Re: Optimum 11 or hyper

I never ordered hyper because I have not had much success using OPT spray compounds and a number of people complained about the spray polish. I like Polish II and Finish

Re: Optimum 11 or hyper

I like the hyper "liquid' polishes...low dust and long work time as well as quite easy to prime the pad with the spray.

Re: Optimum 11 or hyper

I have them all and the newer Hyper Spray polish is probably what I use most. The newer sprayers work like a champ too compared to the old ones. I usually let the paint decide which I use though....

Not sure what's different about them but the one a purchased a little over a month ago has worked flawlessly with a very nice spray pattern. Next time I'm at the shop I'll try and snap pics of the old and new....or maybe Chris will just chime in.

Re: Optimum 11 or hyper

Everyone seems to get mixed results with the sprayers. Mine have always worked fine and if they clog, I just take them apart and wash the parts in warm soapy water then I'm back in business. Dr. Olds contributed that when he is finished for the day, he unscrews the sprayer and pumps the trigger while aiming the nozzle into the bottle. That's a great tip that will prevent it from drying in the tip if you don't use it often. It does need to be shaken well initially and a little between panels.

Hi Chris... Do you have to prime the pad with a pad conditioner when using hyper polish?
