Who uses the Optimum System (not ONR)

LeeH · 12-12-2017, 01:07 PM

I find the Optimum system intriguing, but before I splash out one something that I really don't need

is it as easy as it looks on Paaaaaaaaaaaaan the organizers video.

What you wanna know ?

EDIT:
In my few years with OPT I can without a doubt recommend a few products.
ONR - I know you are not interested in it but here me out. Its a multicleaning product and is great for the inside plastics and dash cleaning, glass cleaning. It can be used as a cheap clay lube and a cheap QD that wont affect the LSP.

Car wash - great sudsy car shampoo. Its very well lubricated and the level of cleaning is good. Its PH neutral and doesnt affect LSP.

Opti seal - not the greatest LSP out there or the longest lasting but its the best drying aid Ive used & it can be used on all surfaces (even on the inside).

Power clean - its a bit expensive but its a great & very strong degreaser. Depending on the dillution ratios it can be used as a bug remover, TFR, degreaser, inside cleaner, ...

Hyper polish - brilliant polish, great finish, long working time, no dust...can be used as a finishing polish or a one-step-polish depending on what pad you combine it with. Simply brilliant.

Gloss coat - it is as easy to use as in the video. Apply, wait till about 80% flashes away and wipe. Its gives great beads and on a well maintained car should last >1year

These are my have-to OPT products. Ive also heard great things about the glass coating & Ferrex but had not had the privilage of trying it out.

I have used ONR and opti-seal, both great products.

Sorry, I was referring to the compound and polish systems only!

I have ONR, it's not that I'm not interested.

Thanks for your detailed reply.

I have not used the hyper compound yet...instead Ive opted with Intensive polish which is the ex-hyper compound before it was reformulated. Its a 1-step product for medium deep swirls and scratches up to 2000 grid. It can cut fairly well and finish with little to no hazing.
Hyper compound was then re-designed to remove heavier paint damage but it wont finish like a polish (its meant to cut so It will do that) so youll need to refine it with hyper polish which is as Ive listed before a great all around polish.

Did you manage to get hold of the OPT stuff in the end and if so, what did you think.

LeeH · 16-04-2018, 10:12 PM

No, gave up and the moment passed. I’ll revisit it again one day.
