I have A TON OF RESPECT FOR YOU.

Have you tried a combo of HT EC/OP?

I held off until mid-summer (HT EC/OP), but have to admit that it works well and finishes very clean (and it's very cost effective).

The new formula OC is better than the old -but still mid pack when compared to the others

(I've worked with a sample of the new OC via Cyclo, PC, and Metabo).

IMO, Optimum Polish is one of THE BEST products/values on the market,
but the new compound seems 'rushed'.

What does it do to distinguish itself vs. some of the others?

Hey thanks for the compliemts people. The Porsche people had their doubts about this one coming out so I used that as an extra incentive to go above and beyond

Hey MGM....thanks buddy for the kind words. Feelings are the same on my side for you as well

While I have not tried a combo, like mixing the Hi-Temp with Optimum, I do have the Hi-Temp Extreme Cut and in fact used it on a few areas of this Porsche and more on the Artic Silver Porsche. It worked very nice but then again I have been using the Hi-Temp stuff for a good number of years now. The Artic Silver Porsche I did had alot of wetsanding done to it and the EC handled it with no problem.

The downside to the EC is that it gums up after awhile and can transfer to the paint. The new OHC is perhaps just as aggressive but with the added benefit of low dust and a longer work time. The new OP finishes out very nice now but also has slightly more aggressive bite than the old formula. I have been using a new one step was just ready to come out and it's also very nice. Should be nice for the pro doing wash and waxes.

Thanks again
Anthony
