Review: Optimum GPS

[DARK HORSE]

Another outstanding review Corey, thanks again for putting so much time into it!

Nice review. I will need to review it more tonight. I am glad you think the sprayable stuff is not a gimmick.

It would be interesting to continue a trend here since you have a set test car to evaluates polishes by using comparing results against various sanded patches (3000, 2500, 2000). This way you can now compare another polish later using the same paint

Corey-

Thank you for your time and effort in putting together this review. I am very glad that you got a bottle of GPS to play with

First, an important question that has gone unasked, what are you listening to while detailing? This could explain your consistently fantastic results

The GPS spray looks fantastic, as a big Poli-Seal fan, I can't wait to get through my current stash and order some GPS to start using. The sprayers look like they have gotten a lot better and have less over-spray issues.

Did GPS feel grabby at all on the rotary? I have found a few paints that are a bit sticky/gummy with PS on the rotary so I wondered if you got any feel on that.

Sky is looking good, glad she had a chance to stretch her legs a bit. Oh and I am seriously jealous you are still wearing short sleeves.

I have enjoyed the Optimum spray polish products to the point where they are all I need on 90% of the cars I will ever see. I prefer to spray the product on the paint (after priming the pad). Its a lot easier to hit your target when its the hood or side of a car (that is going to get polished away)...versus trying to hit the pad just right. Either way, it takes a bit of practice and technique to get to the point where you aren't wasting it, or getting it where you don't want it. I can see some people getting really frustrated if they are used to putting 2-3 pea sized drops on a pad using conventional liquid polishes. I think the spray is the way once you "get it".

Using GPS is dummy proof, and like Corey said, the pads clean up with very little effort. In fact, the whole process from start to finish is easy. I also like the fact that it uses SMAT technology which puts control into the hands of the user (unlike DAT where the product dictates the terms).

Dr G....you've done it again!

What type of pad and machine are you using with the hyper sprays.

[Ron Atchison]

Corey another great review on the GPS and your post prompted me to write my first mini review today.

[LegacyGT]

What type of pad and machine are you using with the hyper sprays.

I believe that is the Flex 3401 VRG with 6.5'' LC Hydro-Tech Tangerine pad

I was refering the question to silverfox, reason for the quote. Sorry for the confusion unless you are saying that is what he uses also. Then thanks!

Not sure, but if it turns out to be the same, I am claiming this as a win.

Reason for asking was I used the Poli-Seal for the first time last night and didn't have much luck with it.
