New Optimum Metal Polish Review - Premium Detailed - Garry Dean - Tampa FL

Nice vid, Garry! One of the things I noticed when I first used the old, pink polish was the lack of gobs of black residue while polishing. You could actually see the results you were getting while you work. Can I assume the new stuff works likewise?

I'm obviously not Gary, but I saw that he did not get to your question, which I feel is an important one. Heres my own take on things.

The new formula removes the oxidation in a different fashion than the old, which results in black residue.

So basically the new formula is not just a tweak of the old, its actually a completely different makeup and product. Results are similar and it still cleans, polish's and protects. For example the new formula is a liquid with the consistency of water. Its no longer a lotion. Its a different color (now blue). It also separates on its own (possibly the abrasives and solvent separating ?) until you shake it back up.

since the product is a liquid, its easier to apply and completely wipeoff is small tight areas (for example, the fasteners on 3 piece wheels).

I have used it some, but am so used to the old formula that I have not switched over completely yet. (I will when I run out of the old bottles from BOGO ! :))

Gary, whats your take on this information ? Also, I had a great time watching all your video's the other night. They were filled with excellent information and techniques that I learned a lot from. Keep up the great work ! I'm itching to watch some more in the future.
 
Thanks for the reply.

So the new formula results in gobs of black crud? Major step backwards, IMO. Lots of polishes leave great results, the old formula was the only one I've used where you could see your progress without wiping allowing you to monitor your progress. Nice to know you need to keep working without wiping and reapplying. :shrug:

Why did you do different, Garry, that you did in March when you didn't like it?
