    Optimum Compound II, anyone use it?

    Just curious how this stuff is. I was just browsing around the store, and came across this stuff on sale. I know sometimes things that are on sale usually mean they aren't selling.

    Anybody try this stuff out? From the description, it sounds like it could be a useful compound to have on hand.

    I think it's on sale because it's been obsoleted by the spray compound. I only have the original version of the compound which didn't have much cut, but that's at least a tweak and a version away from what you're talking about.

    Hmmm...well, I'll probably ignore it then, ha. Doesn't seem that too many people are crazy about it.

    Compound 2 is a nice product for cutting light defects, it has a long working time and finishes near wax ready. I use it for cheaper details where the pay only warrants one polishing step. Makita + white polishing foam pad + compound 2 = nice quick shine.

    Ahhhh, see that's exactly what I was thinking. When I read the description it sounded like a compound I'd like to use. Especially as a one step. I tend to lean towards compounds with a good working time. I may pick some up just to have it around.

    Re: Optimum Compound II, anyone use it?

    Someone gave me a compound with glaze in it the other day..... I think it is called UNO Compound - from a local distributer..... is this normal?!?!?! I have about 3 different compounds with different level cuts, then glaze, then speed wax, etc. Dont think Ive tried a compound and glaze in one - maybe I have in the past and didnt know it..... did I come across something good here?!?!?

    UNO can be used first with a cutting pad then polishing then finishing pad all with the same product

    i used to mix it with 105 to give the 105 a longer working time. never had much use for it as a standalone though.
