New Formula Optimum Polish II Impressions...

[Dr Oldz]

I spoke with Dr. G and he told me that the current versions of the spray compound and polish finish super good on hard paint, but there's issues finishing on soft paint. They've reformulated the hyper spray series to work better on all paints. :righton:

The paint I worked on was medium to medium soft and the old version finished down wonderfully. When I tried 85rd, I saw no difference and skipped the 85rd step. I am sure the new spray polish compound will indeed be better but I have no complaints with the "old" versions thus far.

Try finishing down with their new MF finishing disc with either hyper polish or thier new finishing polish. Finally a combo that is an alternative to D301 and the results are stunning.

do you think the new version finish polish by itself will clean up and completely remove compounding haze ? from either 105 or D300 ?

I know you've guys have used Menz products ... How does Opt two polishes Stack up against lets say Menz Micro Polish or SIP + 85RD?

How's the shelf life?

I'll add another question to the mix: How does this compare to M205? More or less cut, or about the same?

Is Finish Polish needed if you use the new Polish II?

thats a weird question to ask about a product that has only been out for a couple months .

Have you noticed any issues with previous OPT products to be asking this ?

i'm just curious.

The shelf life is good, but we recommend buying any product in an amount you'd use in a year. After all, you're not really saving money when buying larger sizes if its sitting on the shelf 2 years down the road. Also, we always update our formulas as new tech becomes available so we offer paste polishes in 8oz-32oz-128oz and spray polishes in 18oz-64oz-128oz so that you can buy a size that suits your needs.

Polish II will finish perfectly on 95% of the cars we do...but only the softest paints should need finish. It's one of those products that I keep around in smaller quantities, just in case.

So if you are on that 5%...and want to use a spray, does the Hyper Polish bridge the gap? Or do you use GPS? Or is there a sprayable Finish coming?

I'm not sure that Hyper Polish would finish any better than Polish II, but GPS is the only "spray" option for a finer finish than Polish II or Hyper. You may try to continue with Polish II on a finer foam pad...but you were wanting to finish off a paste with a spray, so...Finish is pretty thin...you may be able to spray it, I just haven't tried.

Or was this whole question just a ploy to get me to drop upcoming product info? LOL

No, not really, just trying to understand. I don't have any of the new lotion polishes, and I wasn't really intending to buy any, but I was thinking of picking up the sprayables when rest of the MF pads come out. In the lotion you've got compound/ polish/finish...but in the sprayable you've only got compound/polish/...? I know someone mentioned sprayable Finish a while ago, I don't know if they were kidding or not.

Is it redundant/inefficient to do Polish II + PC LC Orange followed by Poli-Seal + PC LC Orange?

Yes, redundant. Use a polishing or finishing pad(depending on paint hardness) with Poli-Seal.
