Reviews: Optimum Polis-Seal and Edge 2000 pads

Ok, so today I was finally able to test my new productsd, and for the first time I used my PC. Great Machine! Now I decided to use it on my moderatly swirled 05 Corolla Mystic Blue. Here are my results...

Optimum Poli-Seal: Great product to apply, goes on easy, goes of easier! I used the 6" Green Edge pad to make the whole deal of the car. Used this particual method... Applied 4 dots(around 3/8" dia. each) on the pad, then with the PC of, spread it a little bit over the worked area, just enough to not have a lot on the pad. After that, spreaded into the whole area @ speed 3 just enough to have product into the working area. Then, cranked the PC to speed 6 and worked it in up-down-side-side method. After around 3-5 minutes working time, I removed with a plush MF. The results were amazing! I could see the orange peel in a whole new dimension! It did removed a considerable amount of swirls, and it looks a lot better than before to me! No hazing from using a green pad at all! I loved it! The surface was smotth as it can be! Lots of slickness, and a whole lot more shine! Definetly a must have in every detailers bin!

Edge 2000 6" pads: Let me start by saying that I have Not used the LC pad system and this is just a review based on first time use and experience with the Edge pads. Today, I only used the green pad, since I started late and didn't had enough time to do a whole polish. I'm also expecting the Blue pad which was out of stock at the time of purchase, but Bob @ Danase got me covered there (Thanks, Bob! ) I had a little hard time trying to put the pad into the adapter, which I later figured out it was user error I then started to apply the OPS on the roof, hood and trunk! Wow, the pads were at full contact all the time. What I loved the most out of them is that it was pretty easy to flip to the other side and continue working within seconds! What I would like to see from this pads, though, is to see some low profile pads, since this ones are pretty thick(Aaron, hint hint! ) Apart of that, I think they're excellent! Great pads, and when you compare prices, The Edge comes out to be cheaper than 2 LC, which works for me, the poor guy

Hope you enjoy the review and feel free to flame me or make any question you have!

Joey

Great writeup on you use on poli-seal and the edge pads. I haven't got a PC or pads yet but reading on some great write ups from folks like you got me going crazy to get one setup, just waiting for the new PC that's coming out soon. Thanks P.S.

Rgr that! I'm glad that the review helped you to clarify some questions concerning the pads and Poli-Seal. More than willing to help! Turn right heading 105, descend and mantain 1,800, Report runway in sight.
