Thanks for the great suggestions! I'm going to try them one by one, if necessary, starting with OHP and the White pad on a smaller section at 5-6 as Mike suggested, because I already have the product and equipment for that. I really appreciate all your help and will report back after the next...

Bit frustrated...need some more guidance So this time I tried three different combinations on three different sections of My trunk, but I can't say that I'm seeing much difference, and I'm still getting minor marks, so that "jeweled" finish is still evading me. �� Here's what I...

I hope it's ok to pick up this thread where we left off. If it would have been better to start a new thread, please let me know. So I saved up and purchased the Porter Cable and some Lake County Cross Groove pads and gave it another try with the G-P-S and the orange light cutting pad. Much...

I guess that is the appeal of an AIO product, that you don't need an LSP (I must admit, as a newbie I had to lookup LSP). :) However, after reading a few hundred posts on a handful of threads that seemed pertinent, I get the feeling that a final wax can add to the deepness of the gloss and...

Hi. Wondering what you would recommend as the best product combo starting with Optimum Hyper Polish: Hyper Polish > Car Wax Hyper Polish > GPS Hyper Polish > GPS > Car Wax Or is there a different / better combination of products you woud suggest? Thanks! John

Thanks again for all the great replies. MarkD, your detail is much appreciated. Cardaddy, what a beautiful finish. That's what I'm hoping to accomplish. And Mike, those extensive descriptions with all the accompanying photos were incredibly helpful. I'll post back the results of my next...

Thanks for all the quick replies! I've been eyeing the Porter Cable 7424, but just haven't had the cash to spring for it just yet. It sounds like that may be what I need, along with a white pad or two. I guess they're minor, but I'm already getting addicted to the concept of getting a swirl free...

Hi all. I just spent the day washing and claying, and then applied Optimum G-P-S with a 9" orbital polisher using a Turtle Wax foam polishing bonnet. The paint looks great from a distance and up close under indirect sunlight. But when I look at it under direct sun, I'm seeing what looks like...

Hi. I have a camel fabric top that I keep cleaned and treated, but it is beginning to show slight discoloration (or maybe the rest of the top is slightly darker and these areas are the initial color?) directly over the area where the support bars that are part of th folding top mechanism touch...

Thanks for the informative replies. I spent an hour reading as much as possible in the Optimum forum, but the question that still begs to be asked is this: Is there any downside to using Opti-Clean as both a waterless wash AND a quick detailer? What, if any benefit does ONR at QD dilution...

Is there an obvious difference between Opticlean and No Rinse when it is diluted to be used as a quick detailer? I'm wondering if there's enough difference to warrant using both, and if there is, what that difference really is (other than the smell of Opticlean). :-) Thanks for your perspective!
