Wow, that's impressive! So, if you used a finishing pad, would it finish as well as 85rd? If you used cutting pad, would it cut as well as M105?
 
Went back and watched the video again, Dr G. stated a "light compound to a finishing polish".

I think you were being really specific when you asked about cutting like a aggressive compound that can take out #1200 grit sanding marks to a very gentle finishing polish like PO85RD

WITH a wool cutting pad on a rotary buffer it will cut like a LIGHT compound, not like an aggressive compound, this is a polish. With a finishing pad it will finish out like a finishing polish.

:props:
 
Yea, from 105 to 85RD is a wide spectrum of aggressiveness.

So how did you like using a spray? Was it weird at first? Is it the future!

After years of thinking of sprays as usually a quick detailer or a spray-on wax and polishes and compounds as something you squirt out of a bottle, it's a definitely a different approach.

Like a lot of technologies, this new technology is in its infancy so I know feedback will be important and appreciated by David and he's always been very receptive to my feedback.

One thing for sure, the idea of moisturizing or dampening the face of a buffing pad with liquid product makes good sense, that is having the entire face of your pad working for you right off the bat.

I found I didn't have to pull the spray handle 100% back but instead 2-3 half sprays of the spray handle seem to work best.

I've only buffed out one entire car using this product as my main correction product so I'm hoping to tackle some more projects into the future to get more experience with it.

It did work great on the paint on this Honda and standing 5 feet away this Honda looks like it has a brand new paint job.


I did the buff-out on this car last Thursday and took this shot this morning when I came to work...

I just don't understand what a spray does..or how it removes scratches. Is it a liquid or what? The whole thing is a mystery to me and a bit odd and out of the ordinary.
 
Nice video! But now I'm late to a family BBQ and out some more $$$. :D

Well, I'd have to say it is odd and out of the ordinary. ;) New technology. It is a liquid, a thinner, spray-able liquid. The video shows what its capable of.
 
congrats To Doc G & Mike

awesome product review ....video & both of you look great

cant want to get it here to M'sia

Ma ma mia once again

Thanks for sharing
 
Great Video. That paint really came to life, I'm going to have to try some of that.:xyxthumbs:

Hey Mark, thanks for pointing out some of the features and the results...

Here's a little more from David Ghodoussi,


David Ghodoussi said:
Spray application provides a very efficient way to prime the pad with minimal amount of product. This makes the whole pad do the polishing not just a small area on the pad.

Spray application minimizes the chance for overloading or gumming up the pad. Also there is less chance for uneven application which can cause the pad to wobble.

These products have better cut and finish than just about anything in the marketplace. But they still have the signature attributes of Optimum brand which are:

  • User friendly
  • Very long working time (which translates to less product used)
  • No dusting
  • No sling
  • Easy clean up (even if you leave it for a day)
  • Can be used in the sun or shade


Now the story behind the story...
The polish was developed as part of a project for one of the major car manufacturers to be used at the manufacturing plant. Their process is to wet sand with a 1" disc of Trizact #3000 paper and then polish with a 3" or 5" foam pad.

The conventional polishes they were using did not fully remove sanding marks. Furthermore, the dry areas of the pad created some hazing which was visible under intense lighting.

We were able to develop a polish for them that fully removed the sanding marks but to prevent dry buffing and hazing, the only way was to fully prime the pad without gumming up the pad. To achieve that, we had to switch to a spray application.

After a couple of months, we developed a spray polish, which was able to prime the pad with minimal product and was aggressive enough to remove the wet sanding marks without leaving any hazing. This product was approved for plant use and we have had great success with plant trials so far.

Mike after you polished the whole car did you use the Optimum Car Wax on the whole car? If you did, is it something you feel comfortable doing in regards to it being able to protect the paint enough especially here in the hot Florida sun?
 
Just an update...

I've added the embedded the YouTube videos into the first message of this thread...

Also there's a link to our YouTube Channel which has been tweaked and we're also in the process of adding all our videos to our YouTube Channel.

Looks great and easy to use. Would this also be effective for removing light oxidation on a fiberglass boat?
