Optimum polish is as aggressive as the pad you are using it with. This is what makes Optimum so versatile. It has an extremely long working time, therefore it is perfect for rotary use. I've never use it with the PC!

Like J.J. said it's as aggressive as the pad your using. The top end is 1500 grit sand scratches w/wool pad (or foam equivalent) @ 1400 RPM which put's it in the medium cut range.



You can also use it at 1000 rpm's with a light cutting/finishing/polishing pad for swirl removal.



I have not tried it w/pc yet either but love the way it works w/my DW 849.

I have tried OP with the pc, cyclo, and Dewalt DW443 and have tried every pad combination and found that it doesn't work for paint defects like PB's does. If your looking for a good shine, then OP will be fine with an orbital. If your trying to remove defects, stay with the PB's or use a rotory with the OP.

:nixweiss I've had no problems removing up to moderate defects using a Meguiars burgandy pad and Optimum with the PC. For more serious correction, I've found that DPs Super Swirl Eliminator or Optimum Compound work better.

So OP with a rotary should remove my swirls. It normally takes ssr2 on a pc with a megs polishing pad to remove them just now.

I used it on my hood with a white LC pad, just to mess around, take off some waterspots, and i had one long marring from a brush.



It did remove that "line" but it produced a very deep, wet shine.



Im not sure if i really liked how long it was workable with the PC though. I mean....i might have spent 4 or 5 minutes on a 2x2 area, and even then i could have gone longer i think.



Maybe i should try it on a higher speed, or maybe i used too much product. Dunno, my first time with it.
