| | | Optimum Polishes vs. PB SSR's
I'm thinking about buying either or, but I have no garage and need to work outside in direct sunlight. I know PB will do the job easy, but I heard it kinda dusts. So my decision is on your hands: OP and OC, or SSR1 and SSR2.5?? 
Thanks in advance!

| | | I have used the pb;s stuff a while ago, i was less then imprrsed. I dindt think it had the cut i wanted, it took Forever to break down and dusted like mad, i had to wash the car after,
I now use optium. i get little to no dusting, it breaks down relitivly quickly (i use a pc for btoh) and has a nice cut to it, i know how it works, and how i need to use it to get my desired results. I would say go with optimum |

| | | Poorboy's dusts a little, so if you are worrying about that go with Optimum - a little less dust. Or try Pinnacle XMT series.

| | | I'm a big fan of Opitmum Polish and Optimum Compound, if Compound can't get it out then you need a rotary lol. But even the compound finishes down very nicely, it's about the same as SSR3 (i.e. very agressive) but SSR3 will leave marring that needs to be cleared up, OC doesn't. The Polish is very versitile, use a cutting pad and it for nice correction, or a finising pad and it acts like a polish designed specifically for finishing. Both have long work times and don't dust.

| | | OC has an edge over SSR3 IMO so far. But I haven't used them enough to really say.

Sparkie - agree, especially the new formula OC, has a little more bite then SSR3 (if you need anymore you need a rotary lol) but finishes down much better, SSR3 will leave marring whereas OC can usually be topped with an LSP, finishes down like a polish.

| | | I've used OP and SSR1, 2.5 & 3. All are good polishes IMO. The only issue I have is PB's fairly excessive dusting, which isn't an issue with OP. |
