Can I also wipe down the OLD FORMULA (compound, polish II, and finish) with damp MF?

nice car! what transplant did your e36 get? btw, did you remove the wheels to opticoat? did you just do the faces and the lips or did you also apply in between the spokes? thanks.

from what I've read, paint is hard (bmw alpine white). Are either OPT compound II, polish II, and finish polish ok to use with the OPT microfiber polish pad, or Megs cutting/finishing mf pads? (3" and 5" sizes) I don't have 5.5 foam pads.

Thanks for the reply. I do have some opt polish II and finish. I will be using either of those two instead. Now, would the Opt MF polish pad be ok to use with those products? Or do I have to resort to foam pads?

How's it going everyone? Can I opti-coat after using the megs mf system on my car? I'm not sure if using the D301 finishing wax is compatible with opti-coat. If not, can I use the finishing mf disc with M205 instead? That is after using the D300 and the cutting disc of course. Thanks.

wheels are clearcoated and protected with OCW. It's the design that's taking me so long to wipe/dry everything off. not really happy going through each spoke.

man I hate cleaning my wheels. takes me at least an hour to do all four without feeling rushed, either using ONR or Opticlean(might be less time with waterless).

I also don't spray OPP directly on the surface. I was just wondering if it was supposed to spray in a wider pattern to have better coverage on the applicator with one squeeze of the trigger... but I can live with the way it is.

can you use regular air dusters? say for electronics? I have some dust-off. are the ones being sold here different? it's advertised as filtered, moisture free...

According to their FAQ, "Follow up with standard waxing a week later." But at the same time, "Refrain from using a circular buffing wheel and wool pad for at least 30 days. We suggest using a random-orbit buffer with a foam pad and quality compound at all times for the best, swirl-free results...

just placed my order. Thanks for the heads up.

Happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone!!

thanks!

Hope everyone is doing well! If I want to machine polish a carbon fiber part (spoiler, mirror caps, etc.), can I use the same products I use on my paint? Basically, treat it like I would treat painted parts? Thanks.

Thanks! Good to know. I was about to buy the 17oz bottle version just to see if it will somehow "spray."

sorry to thread jack... What about after repairing a chip/scratch with dr. colorchip? Do I still need to wait a certain amount of days before opti-coat? Thanks.

How's it going everyone? Just have a question for anyone who tried OPT leather protectant that came in the spray bottle. Does it spray in a wide pattern or is it more of a stream? I have the gallon and using a spray bottle, is the consistency of the product what's causing it to just stream...

Hey guys! Thanks for the replies. The clay was a new piece. It might have been the lubrication that was the culprit even though I made sure to spray an ample amount on the panel, the clay, and then on the section I was working on. But thinking about it now, it may have been that the lube was...

Noted: Edges and "hard" body lines are to be taken up with care or better yet, avoided. How about those curved spots? Like a dome on the hood? pic attached Thanks.

Thanks Mike! I still need to finish reading your book. :buffing:
