Optimum compound/polishes ?'s

**Hoytman** · 07-28-2011, 10:49 AM

What's the difference between the compounds/polishes being sold on closeouts at places v. the new improved versions?

There's some good buys out there on 32oz. old versions. I'm just looking for reasons not to buy them I suppose.

I believe the new versions have more cut. They are supposed to be very similar to the hyper compound spray and hyper polish spray. Not totally sure though

New versions are SMAT technology and are completely new formulations...the old work well, but are obsolete compared to the new.

Is the Poli-Seal getting a new formulation as well?

And there's my reason not to waste my money on the older versions. Guess you cleared that up huh? Ha ha! Been eyeing the spray versions anyhow...thanks for solidifying my choice Chris.

EDIT:
That means the reason the sprays can be worked so long is because they don't break down right? I always forget how that works...do you mind breaking that down for me LOL (pun intended). One diminishes the other doesn't...err...I think.

We just released a new polish, finish polish, and compound but not Poliseal.

I'm glad to help. The oils will eventually dry up, but they will cut till you stop buffing basically. They have a n excellent work time, wipe off easily with a damp microfiber, and don't dust.
