Ok guys, here's the final verdict. What Setec said here is what was confirmed on the Optimum installers page. The old orange compound IS the new Intensive polish. The reason I was confused on this is because I have, and had only ever used the old BLUE version of hyper compound, so I was...

Ok, well let's see what he says. I'm going to post this to the Optimum installers group as well.

That really wasn't my question at all. Guess I will contact Dr. G Monday and ask him personally.

Did you hear it from Dr. G? He is the one that actually creates the formulas. And how did we go from "a reliable source at Optimum" to "4 different employees?" Genuinely curious, not trying to pick a fight.

It finished great, just as good as regular Hyper Polish. Looking forward to trying it on a Black BMW Monday to see if it will finish as well on a softer clear. If the new Intensive Polish is the old hyper compound renamed then I would like to hear that directly from Dr. G, other wise I will not...

It sounds like you have a good process that is working for you, so thank you for sharing it with others. That being said, I've done over 1,000 rinseless washes in my career and see all of that as pretty big over kill. Wash bucket with 3 gallons of water and grit guard, 380 GSM towels(3-4...

New compound and intensive polish. The intensive polish is not the old compound, I used it on a Corvette yesterday and it was busting swirls easily and finishing excellent. The old compound I never used much because it hazed a lot. I don't mind the changing of colors ect. that Optimum does...

They usually contact me to see if I will do a $35 mobile wash in Chicago or something, which I literally could not be much further away from in Illinois. If you are starting out any need any business possible, its true you have nothing to lose by trying this and seeing if it is a good fit. If...

Got a chance to use the new compound on a hood today, very nice product. Cuts FAST finishes really well, and wipes off like a breeze. So far, so good.

I've used fabric clean for years. It is a very nice product that goes a long way.

Not sure I know the old hyper compound was really high. One gallon of the liquid compounds are like two gallons of paste(right word? Non sprayable) as far as how far it goes.

I ordered a couple of small bottles (against my grain) of Hyper Compound(2015) and the new Intensive Polish. I've had really good results from Optimum so will give these a shot. If it doesn't work out I will order a gallon of HD Cut or possibly a liter of CutMax from SONAX. I could not wrap my...

Have used D300 before, not enough cut for my money. Not a fan of Menz products, can be just a bit too finicky for me. I'm not the end all of paint correction masters and do very few "full corrections". Most of my paint corrections are 3 steps where the goal is 90-95% improvement, very rarely get...

Umm, simple decline the work politely. There is nothing wrong with saying "I appreciate your calling me and bringing the vehicle by, but the condition of the vehicle is beyond my ability to improve to the standards that I hold myself too. If there is anything else I can help you with, please...

I've been using HD Cut for a while now and am running low, its time to switch things up. I use a Rupes 15 with either foam or MF pads exclusively. Looking at either the new Hyper Compound or 3D AAT as my new go to. I don't go small, if I order something it is usually in gallon quantity and I...

Would love to learn from your experiences!

Lol, enjoy your vacation detailing will still be around when you get back.

Hmm, I guess my process is a bit different. I will wash, clay the vehicle, do the interior completely, do door jambs, then complete the exterior. Each to their own, and glad to hear of your success!

I would use it at quick detailer solution if you are going to do that, but it is much better as a rinseless wash.

Solution Finish, not on coating level but far out performs anything else.
