I see. My plan was originally to use Optimum Compound to do the hard correcting work, Optimum Polish to clean up the surface after Opt Compound then go to Prime or Prime Strong due to its cleaning ability and how well it puts down a good base for Acrylic Jett.
Combining the Opt Polish and Prime/Prime Strong steps into one using Poli-Seal is tempting. Because none of these products are that crazy expensive, maybe I will try both methods. Use one method this year, and one next year and compare the results. Or stated differently, this year go Wash twice + Clay + Opt Compound + Poli-Seal + Acrylic Jett and take some pictures. Next year go Wash twice + clay + Opt Compund + Opt Polish + Prime Strong + Acrylic Jett and take pictures again and compare those to last years.
Lastly, when using a UDM, how much does Poli-Seal and Prime/Prime Strong need to be "worked in". I know with a compound, you need to work it in for 3-5 minutes or so due to compounding polish having diminishing abrasives. I know with a sealant you really don't need to work it in, rather you are using the UDM to help spread the sealant into a thin even coat. What about Poli-Seal or Prime/Prime Strong? Somewhere in between?
