    Would you like to share with us why you think MS SQL Server is not suitable as back end for a forum such as Optimum?

    Strong Easy to Apply Leather Cleaner

    For what it is worth, if you are going to do it, do it the right way with Leatherique. If your seats are not all that bad you may even get away with just using Prestine Clean. I recently did a 2009 Subaru Liberty, same beige colour as yours, here is a 50/50. It was done with the Rejuvenator Oil...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    Thanks for your reply and sharing your experiences. I don't disagree with anything you have said or your method of removing a high spot. My concern is about maintenance, not hot spots because like you I don't get them any more either. My 60 day cure test is for sure a contrived test but it was...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    A very strange reply – you go to some effort, but you failed to answer even one of the questions I asked. Should I and other readers here therefore conclude that that you don’t have answers to those questions? No amount of the vacuous nonsense you present in your response is going to convince...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    That is a ridiculous statement. Why on earth would I have a hidden agenda? Could you please refrain from using such antagonistic language in your responses to me on this forum. That may well be your attitude towards product testing, but it is not mine. How else would one know of the...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    Corey, I don’t know about GPS as I’ve never tried it, but Poli-Seal which I believe is the same stuff (liquid paste, but not sprayable) has more cut than most people give it credit for. Using the correct pad, I think it would get very close re cut to what 205 can achieve. I recently...

    Which one is better? DAS6 or PC7424XP?

    I can't add any comments about a GG as I've never used one, but if you are 220v why don't you contact Waxit re the Concours, which is more powerful than the GG. Would reckon shipping from Aus to Indonesia would be cheaper than from the US with the GG.

    Which one is better? DAS6 or PC7424XP?

    The Pro wasn't available when I purchased the DAS6. I can't explain my bad luck with it, because others here (Australia) and the UK don't seem to have had the problems I've had. The warranty was 12 months here, and even though it is now 18 months, Waxit keeps replacing it free of charge, so I...

    Which one is better? DAS6 or PC7424XP?

    I've had a DAS6 for about 18 months. When it works, it is great, but unfortunately I've had it replaced about 5 times in that period. I've recently purchased a Concours 900. Its nearly double the power of the DAS6 and is it obvious the first time you use it. So at this stage the DAS6 has become...

    Optimum Compound II Compared to Meguiars M105

    I've only used Optimum Compound II a couple of times as compared to M105 and I can't say that I like it that much. Both times it was on relatively soft paint and it became very sticky after a couple of passes and difficult to wipe off. It also didn't cut as fast or as much as compared to M105...

    I bought Opti-Coat but I am concerned

    What you first have to determine is if it is your polishing technique or wipe off technique that is instilling the swirls. I’d suggest the following steps. First do not use IPA at any dilution. I’m with Dave on this, IPA is just not necessary to do wipe downs and will usually only make matters...

    PC7424 losing power/heating up/smelling

    Brushes don't wear that fast - takes years of constant use with most of them. All these cheap DA's are pretty crap made, so its just normal wear and now you find out after a couple of hours use, how poorly they are made. What do you really expect for something made in China that sells real...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Hi Twister If you read the original thread, you will find that I was in an experimental mode. In experimental mode, I been known to attempt things that some people may find weird. That is why I call it experimental mode. I’m not trying to justify anything – just reporting back on what I found...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Chris, That is an interesting comment. Why don't you post the link to your forum of the conversation in April between yourself, Dr. G and myself and then let others be the judge. You may surprised to find what others think. PS Could you pm David's email address. I'd rather write than have to...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Corey, Thanks for your support and your sane comment. Actually in the other thread my reply was addressed to you!! I think by visiting the Optimum forum today and rechecking what was said last April I may have spooked Chris. I guess he jumped the gun a bit and thought I was like the boogeyman...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Thanks for your tip. However I'm not having any problems with high spots. Sure did back in April when I first started with OC, but that was many applications ago.

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Chris, My apologies if you think my reply was out of line, it was certainly not my intention to upset you. You also seem to have a few friends here who agree with you, so continuing this conversation is probably rather pointless. Personally I don’t think I’ve shown you any disrespect as all...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    My apologies Chris. I was offline writing my message and didn’t see your response. I hope you don’t mind, but I’ve now transferred the pertinent parts of your reply back to this thread. With all due respect Chris, you are again contradicting Dr. G. as quoted above in this thread. Surely, you...

    Opti-Coat/Opti-Guard and Poli-Seal Problem

    Hi Chris, Rather than continue the old thread, I thought I’d start a new thread. There are too many other types of OC/OG and other product questions in that thread that don’t relate to this problem, so I thought this OG/PS problem could use separation from those other questions. For those of...

    Review: Optimum GPS

    Corey, I've got to say you have got guts doing a rotary video with your new Flex. Slow down mate, don't fight it, way slower arm speed and maybe try again with a softer pad until you get the feel. You don't need the different directions with a rotary. It will glide across the paint, if you...
