Tried the new Optimum Spray Compound and polish

Thats what I like to hear.
I have a pristine 2001 TA WS6 (Black) with 9K miles, that's going to be my winter project.
Now it's 80% corrected,i'm shooting for 95%-99% correction as there are NO deep scratches on it.I will be using my Flex XC with HT 6.5" pads and my PCXP with HT 4" pads and a mini-rotary (electric drill).
I ordered pretty much the whole Optimum line offering here on AG (including both Hyper spray twins) and $200+ in new HT pads to give a good go at it.
My AG shippment should arrive this Friday and i'm super excited to try them thru the winter!

You're dealing with a hard clearcoat as you stated. Not sure if you work on other cars, but once you run into a soft clearcoat, optimum sprays will not finish as well. They were designed with hard clearcoats in mind. Also, HC uses 100% SMAT. HP uses SMAT and DAT. :xyxthumbs: Dr. G is a genius.

Any suggestions for soft clearcoats, other than 105/205?
 
I have used their finish polish on soft ass black toyota paint and had no problems finishing out halogram free with a grey CCS LC pad... once i learned how to use my rotary more appropriately. If they have a spray finishing polish it'd be that much easier but I have to say the finish polish is nice enough to work with already it doesn't require a spray :)

For soft clears I find that Menz SIP(or PF) with 106ff(or 85rd) works extremely well.

Thank Lasthope! Thank You Sir. Ive heard 85rd does work extremly well to, i havent had a chance to actually it yet tho.
 
I use Menz IP via orange/white pad on my Flex, then finish it with PO85RD with great results on my soft Honda black paints.
 
I will give another + to SIP & p085RD for soft paints. Amazing results.
