    Optimum has a leather cleaner and conditioner - maybe keep the order unified - they should send you a free Optimum banner!

    Looks good to me man

    You have a great list of products. But I do not understand why GPS is for special and vintage cars.

    Special cars to me would get a complete 2-3 step, and a high end wax or sealant.

    Just trying to make sure you understand that GPS is an AIO, and is a master of nothing. Great for daily drivers and fast jobs.

    You say you have found forums and posts which talk about Opti Seal damaging paint? I have not heard of this. I like opti seal for protecting emblems and the area surrounding them because they don't leave a chalky difficult to remove residue behind in the crevices of the emblem which can happen with wax.

    why not try out a variation of different brands of products? Seems like you're really limiting yourself by ordering primarily from one brand. I love Optimum products, but you need to give other companies a try too and see which one you like best.

    Closes I could think of that would be Opti-Coat 2.0, that if applied wrong will look badly but it won't cause any damage. You will just have to re-polish that panel and apply again. Though, I definitely like it. I have opti-coated many things with no more instruction then you will find in this forum, and everything has turned out well. PM me if you want the link for me opti-coating my car, tried to give as much detail/thoughts as possible. With my first order on here, I ordered Opti-Seal, 2nd order I picked up some Opti-Coat. I have used Opti-Seal once on a front fairing for a buddy on his bike, while waiting for the 2nd order to arrive .

    OLP and Meguiars Rich Leather is kinda doubling up on one thing.

    I don't see any pads, unless you already have some I might suggest adding the Optimum MF pads to the list (polish and cutting). And then maybe have some LC White (light cut) pads on hand in case the MF isn't finishing out well and also some LC flat gray for final polish (if you go that route).

    I haven't used Hyper Polish yet, but if your going to be working on some fancy stuff I would probably toss in some Optimum Polish II (in case the paint isn't finishing down well with Hyper Polish) and maybe some Final Polish for that extra shine.

    I would go for a slightly bigger container of Opti-Bond, for twice as much you get 4 times more...so this is not a bad deal even is money is tight.

    GPS could be good to have around for a one step on a daily drive or where the paint could be thin, otherwise I would look to the polishes to do more of a correction then seal with something better.

    Nothing wrong with grabbing a line of products to start with, makes it easier to cover all your basis, and then you can rotate samples of other products in to see if you like them better then what you are working with.
