For those of you patiently awaiting the release of the entire Optimum Microfiber Polishing System. I have good news: We're almost finished!

Here's what I got today:

The Cutting Pads and Polishing Pads have been revamped for top performance:

We also gave the Cutting Pads a more aggressive microfiber than we saw with the Beta pads:

The Optimum Microfiber Polishing System Backing Plates have a milled edge with no hook and loop for easy pad removal:

I'm looking forward to putting these through the paces if the rain will let up here in TN for a bit.

Thanks for looking!
 
Anxious for this too. Will look forward to picking them up when available
 
Interested in a test drive myself. Looks like the foam is as thick as what's on the Surbuf pads.

I have some Surbuf's so I checked...it's pretty close, maybe a little thicker:

very excited, I look forward to the release and plan on buying as well.
 
Congratulations to you and Optimum! Looking forward to these :). Thanks Chris!
 
Looking forward to giving these a try, they look great!
 
Chris how's the cutting pad compare with say foam cutting pad and wool pad like optimum's wool pad ?
 
I have been using the Optimum foam backing plates and love them! They cost 1/3 the price of my 3m backing plate. The hookless edge does work and allow easier removal of the pads. Only gripe, is that they easily get dirty. Guess I gotta use some OPC for that.

Can't wait for for the new mf pads to become available.
 
When y'all do testing would it be possible to test the longevity of the pads with backing plates other than yalls? Cause I assume y'all want use your backing plate is that correct
 
Looking forward to trying these. I applaud you guys for not rushing these and waiting to release a product that is of top quality.
 
Chris, will the cutting pads also be rotary friendly?
 
Nice can't wait! So far I am happy with the early release MF polishing pads that AG sells. Can't wait to have the complete and final set up. I am also glad you did not rush these, I am sure they will be worth the wait!
