Optimum MF system almost here!

[Chris Thomas]

Very cool!

What's the reason behind thickening the foam?

Mark, they run a little cooler and work better on cars with contoured body panels. When used in conjunction with our plates, polishing feels much smoother. It's just something we figured out while testing and we liked it so much that we incorporated it into the polishing pad as well.

When y'all do testing would it be possible to test the longevity of the pads with backing plates other than yalls? Cause I assume y'all want use your backing plate is that correct

Optimum's Backing Plates WILL be your best choice and are competitively priced. The flexible interface foam and recessed velcro edge work perfectly with these pads. We have done extensive tests with these plates.

Testing other backing plates would be more of a job for you guys. We produce the optimum choice and then you can see what you can "get by with" as you experiment in your tasks. If you choose to use other brands, be carefull how strong the hook and loop is and check to see how much heat is transferred to the back center of the pad. I have used them on the Cyclo Backing Plates and on the factory Flex 3401 with NO issues.

Chris, will the cutting pads also be rotary friendly?

Yes, of course!

Nice can't wait! So far I am happy with the early release MF polishing pads that AG sells. Can't wait to have the complete and final set up. I am also glad you did not rush these, I am sure they will be worth the wait!

Thank you! We really don't try to bring any product to market unless we think we have a significant improvement to offer. That's one of the reasons we've never made a paste wax. With this pad system, you can see the evolution of Microfiber Polishing Technology improve...and you know we never stop trying to make our lineup better.

Awesome to see this getting close.

I have needed several new pads for a while now, but have postponed it waiting for the release of these. While I know you have to use different pads on different paints, I do plan on getting a process with these for most of mine.

Looking forward to the official release of everything, BP's included.

MF Pad technology works really well on almost all factory finishes. You may have to finish with foam on some soft repaints, but that's only another step on a fraction of vehicles so you can still use the system on just about everthing.

i made my own MF pad out of some of those cheap TW foam bonnets and microfiber bonnets just to see how a mf pad would work. and seems to work great for lots of things, will deffinatly buy the opt pads once the cutting pad comes out thats what ive been waiting for to make a purchase, while i love meguiars products the price point is too high for a couple of pads in my opinion. cant wait for both pads to be released in a set. one question i have is will you sell a kit like meguiars does including everything? also will you be selling a kit consisting of just both the pads themselves? reason why i ask is because i know its cheaper to bundle certain pads in a kit as it uses less packaging materials then individual pads thus transferring the savings to the consumer. another question is has anyone tested this out on the super hard toyota super white II single stage paint system? the paint on my car is so hard i cant get some of the scratches out knowing they can be removed.

It's up to AGO how they bundle our products, but I'm sure if there's a demand they will listen!

I can't comment on the single stage paint, sorry.

You can say that again. I love the sprays they have. It'll be great to use them with the MF pads. C'mon optimum! I'm ready to send you my money!
