Hey guys,



Like the title states, how effective is Optimum polish as just a finishing polish? I have used SSR2.5 on a car, and I`d like to remove some minor marring and small thin lines.



I realize that Optimum is a versatile polish and i`d like to use that on a white LC CCS pad, will that enable it to finish to a nice shine of depth and gloss?



The finish of the car is BLACK and it`s a metallic paint. I don`t have 106ff because I would assume that would be better (although it`s used with a black LC pad which I can`t figure out how it corrects).



Anyways, your thoughts? is it too aggressive to use it or should I up or down the pad or dosage of polish?

The Opt Pol shoud do the trick! Quite versatile, should get very satisfying results......

You will love the results of the Optimum. I use the 106ff on a white and the Optimum on a white as well.

I`d say all op is IS a finishing polish.

Optimum polish is really very very versatile. On a white/grey pad, it finishes down very nicely.

Same here, when I don`t use 106f, OP is my go-to for finishing on rotary.



I usually use it with a blue or white edge2000 pad, just be sure to work it in for a long long time.

Just curious......... How well would Optimum Poli-Seal work in this situation compared to Optimum Polish?

OP has more cut than OPS does. Although I`ve used OPS on an orange CCS pad as a one step and it worked out pretty nice.

Be very CAREFUL of filling.

After using the 3m perfect it 3000 RC I agree. I love the workability of Optimum but for cut it`s 3m no doubt.

You get filling with OP? I guess on Jet Black non-metallic paints you might get some sort.

As opposed to stating my personal findings, I would recommend you do a alcohol or prep sol wipedown with EVERY polish and come to your own conclusions.
