Ok, so today I was finally able to test my new products, and for the first time I used my PC. Great Machine!http://autopia.org/forum/images/smilies/washwax.gif Now I decided to use it on my moderatly swirled 05 Corolla Mystic Blue. Here are my results...

Optimum Poli-Seal: Great product to apply, goes on easy, goes of easier! I used the 6" Green Edge pad to make the whole deal of the car. Used this particual method... Applied 4 dots(around 3/8" dia. each) on the pad, then with the PC of, spread it a little bit over the worked area, just enough to not have a lot on the pad. After that, spreaded into the whole area @ speed 3 just enough to have product into the working area. Then, cranked the PC to speed 6 and worked it in up-down-side-side method. After around 3-5 minutes working time, I removed with a plush MF. The results were amazing! I could see the orange peel in a whole new dimension!http://autopia.org/forum/images/smilies/spit.gif It did removed a considerable amount of swirls, and it looks a lot better than before to me! No hazing from using a green pad at all! I loved it! The surface was smotth as it can be! Lots of slickness, and a whole lot more shine! Definetly a must have in every detailers bin!

Edge 2000 6" pads: Let me start by saying that I have Not used the LC pad system and this is just a review based on first time use and experience with the Edge pads. Today, I only used the green pad, since I started late and didn't had enough time to do a whole polish. I had a little hard time trying to put the pad into the adapter, which I later figured out it was user errorhttp://autopia.org/forum/images/smilies/chuckle.gif I then started to apply the OPS on the roof, hood and trunk! Wow, the pads were at full contact all the time. What I loved the most out of them is that it was pretty easy to flip to the other side and continue working within seconds! What I would like to see from this pads, though, is to see some low profile pads, since this ones are pretty thick(Aaron, hint hint!http://autopia.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif ) Apart of that, I think they're excellent! Great pads, and when you compare prices, The Edge comes out to be cheaper than 2 LC, which works for me, the poor guy http://autopia.org/forum/images/smilies/LolLolLolLol.gif

Hope you enjoy the review and feel free to flame me or make any question you have!

Hey compadre,

Sounds like you had fun with some toys. I have the Optimum Poli-Seal too but I haven't had a chance to use it just yet. Most of the vehicles I've done I want to remove all swirls possible and so far so good so I tend to put the Poli-Seal on the back burner...but this makes me curious, so curious that I have a perfect vehicle coming up. A co-worker just purchased a brand new Pontiac G6 (? I think)....well it's a Pointiac. So I'll give this a try.

The Edge pads work great, I don't mind them. I like the blue one, that is my favority pad....it's so versatile you can use it with anything. I like the Lake Country pads too...heck I have all kinds of pads...Meg's, Edge, Lake Country, 3M...I just love having pads......every time I look at my bind of pads makes me want to head out to the garage and polish ahahahaha...yes I know sad hahahaha.

Bigfoot, that is a sweet review. Thank you for the time and effort I'll use the Polis-Seal becuase you gave me that extra push to use it...oh and the fact that your the first AG zombie hahaha.

Thank you, compadre! The Poli-Seal will work best on a car with minimal swirling. I think I pushed the edge a little with my car, since it has enough swirls to need a polish rather than a AIO type of product. I loved The Edge pads, and I'll probably buy more sometime soon. The blue one was out of stock when I purchased, but the dist. I buy from told me he will get them this week, and mine will be the first one out!:applause: I used green, and despite being said that it creates hazing, it didn't happened with me.

I also have PB PwCb which I might try later on with the PC as well, but that will be another review...:o

Gracias por tus buenos comentarios, compadre!
