Optimum PolySeal quick thoughts

[Vegas Transplant]

What product is best suited for quick clean up on neglected paint, heavily oxidized, cc failure, etchings, waterspots, etc?

Oh yeah...need to mention that owner is a retired person with $150 budget, more concerned with protection than correction, 4 hour clean up window and frowned on the use of a rotary





Hood before wash



Clear coat failure






Roof before wash




Roof after wash - oxidation



Trunk before wash




Even though I have GPS, thought that I would give OPS a go due to car being in early stage cc failure.


Thoughts or opinions?

Is that a blue LC CCS pad? I would have thought white might get you a little more bite without sacrificing finish quality.

Also, contrary to what some people post on various forums, poli-seal sucks on plastic trim.

Yellow. Then orange.
Yeah, but easily removed with ONR or OCW.

After Optimum Car Wax & Optimum Tire Shine










Temps were dropping as the daylight ebbed. I've got 8 stitches in my mouth and decided to pack up. Most deeper waterspots and etchings remain. All in all , customer is pleased so far.

Noon today: 2 hour light interior and windows, top off tire pressure, change out seat covers then done.

Good to see a reciew on what OPS can do. I've never used it before and don't own any. From the photo's and from what I have in my arsenal I'd have chose DG 501, or XMT 360 on a yellow or orange pad. If I get some OPS I could add that to my list of choices. Seems like it done a nice turn around.

Notice your fingers somewhat reflecting in the photo with the leaf. As a teaser, the roof I've been working on had zero reflection...nada.

Nice work Vegas.

By the way, I thought that looked like an Automagic bottle and sure enough it was. What's the skinny behind that? Do you use/like any of their stuff? Shoot me a pm if you like.

I ordered some cheap mf's from AM along with the bottles last year. I also have several gallons of AM products from Vegas collecting dust. My truck and RV bi-level brushes came from there too.


OPS and 360 are comparable. I like OPS better because I top with OOS, OCW, or both. The 360 is collecting dust.
Usually I would add PolishII or OHP to the pad, but the tinted clear shows heavy early stage cc failure throughout the vehicle.

As a teaser, the roof I've been working on had zero reflection...nada.

Nice work Vegas.

Bummer on a black vehicle. At least the vehicle is tall enough that if you go for a cc respray, the lines would be less noticable due to the height.
Thanks!

-With the detailing time-frame allotment you were given; the paint's 'condition';
and your Customer's budget restraints...

-I believe your decision to OPT {FUN-PUN (?)} for Poli-Seal, as your AIO, was an excellent choice!!

(Plus, not to overlook, OP-S': Compatibility-factor...with your other Optimum products.)

-Thanks for sharing another one of your detailing-gems, VT!

Mike has several quotes concerning the one step aio issue for those new to detailing.
Don't make much sense pushing full correction$ to those that neglect their vehicles.

This 1995 is in rather good shape for its age being outside 24/7... just one too many 1 bucket 1 rag, periodic drive-by crack-head washes.

Picked up a Lex window tint removal, headlight recon., swirl and etching correction for 10 am. The only bad thing is I have to be out there before dusk.

There's a lot of nice people in the hood looking for mobile. I really dig retirees - big cars , big pockets.
