    Taping. Why?

    If you use liquid polish like Optimum Hyper Polish do you still need to tape the trims? Should you also tape off chrome trims or only plastic trims? What are other areas you tape off?

    Headlights with Opti-lens, Sealant after?

    I was told there are a lot more uses than just head lights for Opti-Lens. You can use it for things like tail lights, fog lights, side mirror lights and any plastic trims on your car that you want to UV protect and coat.

    Headlights with Opti-lens, Sealant after?

    I was wondering this same thing except I wanted to put Opti-Coat over the headlights after the Opti-Lens to help protect it even more. I was told by Chris Thomas at optimumforums.com that Opti-Lens is modified version of Opti-Coat so there is no need to do anything more.

    Which Lake Country pad to use with Optimum Hyper Polish?

    Can you confirm if Optimum hyper polish is water based? It looks like it is liquid form that you spray on the pad.

    Which Lake Country pad to use with Optimum Hyper Polish?

    Yes. My car is being delivered with protection film on it from factory and dealer isn't going to touch the paint other than to do touch-less wash and air dry few times per my request prior to my pickup. I'm hoping it will not need any type of correcting. I would like to hand wash, clary and put...
