Optimum Finish Polish, thoughts ?

[HateSwirls]

I have a 32oz bottle coming soon.
A couple of members here talked highly of it.
Really fine polish, super long work time and "zero dusting "

I was told the cut is less than of the 205?
I want it to maintain my black car, I don't need harsh compounds often as I do my best to keep it swirl free, I'm hoping it makes for a great polish to use before I apply a new lsp , but after using the polish I will clean the paint using DP Prep Polish then apply my sealant.
It won't replace my 205, no no no. Lol
My SS paint is really soft, I read up on the Optimum and it's safe to use even on the softest paints including dark colors.
I also have plans to use it when I feel like jeweling my paint, with the long work time it would appear to be a great polish to do so.

Any of you guys use it?, if so how do you feel about it?

I really like it and I should showcase it more often on some of the really cool cars that go through our garage.


Here's a project that I finished out with using Optimum Finish and a Rotary Buffer. There's a TON of information on dozens of topics in just this one write-up I did a few years ago. Definitely worth a read-through...

• Long working time
• No dusting

And yes, I would say less cut than M205. I would place M205 into the Fine Cut Polish Category and that means Optimum Finish is probably close to or in the Ultra Fine Cut Polish Category.

It's very good - like all Optimum polishes. Don't expect a lot of cut. Work time is long and dusting is non existent. Use sparingly. Shake well. Expect streaks in the blue coloring of the polish - it's normal. Just shake well.

Optimum traditional polishes are the best stuff out there IMO for polishing plastics. I've used them for a few different plastics via DA and they always work better than dedicated plastic polishes.

Thanks Mike this is the type of feedback I was hoping for.
I looked for a few vids to see it action, the one I found the guy didn't do very good job with the rotary so I stopped it.
Sure would love to see you in action using it with your rotary.


I have a lot of vacation time come this April, would be cool to come and meet you guys.
Put me to work, free of charge of course

Good to know being I want little cut.

Thanks for the tip on polishing plastics with it too

Great polish but when it says finish polish it means it. Not much cut but finishes beautifully. If you need cut from an optimum polish hyper polish is the way to go.

Your the one that got me interested in the Optimum line

Thanks.

Optimum everything is good. They really don't make anything I've been disappointed in.

Again, I bought it being it has less cut than my 205.
I have many other products when I need a good cut.
I feel the Optimum Finish Polish will out perform my 205 when it comes down to jeweling do to its long work time a little cut.

It will definitely jewel better than 205. No dust either.
