OPT finish Polish new formula on soft paint

[VaderGT]

So Mark Z-oh-6 sent me a small bottle of the new OPT finish polish new formula to see how it works with soft paint compared to 85RD since thats my go to stuff with my super soft mustang.
So i started out with this as the before with it polished with 85RD

I used a Crimson HT low profile pad like I do with my 85RD for the test..I primed the pad the exact same way..used the machine on speed 4.5 and did 3 passes with med pressure and 2 passes with light pressure.
Here is how the paint looked after the new OPT finish polish

It didnt finish out to well on soft paint. It is easy to work with. The consistency is much thicker then 85RD and its a blue color. Has no real smell and it wipes off very easy.

I then went back over the same section with my 85RD with 3passes on med pressure and 1 light pass

so looks like 85RD still is king for finishing out beautifully on very soft paints.

Thanks again to Mark for sending me the sample to give it a go.

Interesting review.

I would have used a faster speed. I always use my polishes at speed 5 to 6 with Menzerna.

Did the Optimum break down or did you just do a count. I would think it would not really matter than much for a finishing polish. A different technique may change the results.

I'm having a terrible time with my Vivid Black Harley. Softest paint I have ever had
to deal with. If the wind blows it scratches!

I've been interested in the new Optimum polishes, I just can't see me spending the money on them because I already have stuff that works for me. Thanks for the review. I love 85rd for soft paints. I just got some this summer.
