Does anyone exclusively use Optimum polishes for paint?



I used the old formulas until I finished the 32oz bottles, then jumped on the Menzerna bandwagon.



No regrets in either, just interested in the percentage of full-time users of Optimum vs. Menzerna.
 
So far I basically use Optimum.



I have FPII but find it drys out much faster than the OP so I very rarely use it.

Optimum polishes are fine but they don't have ceramiclear polishes. That's where Menzerna shines.

While not having a line of polishes specifically dialed in for CeramiClear, Optimum products work fine; however, the older versions didn't have enough cut to take care of heavy defects. I've only tried the new Optimum Polish and it seems to work very nicely on Mercedes Ceramiclear. I haven't tried the new compound or finishing polish so I don't know if either is equal to or better than the Menzerna equivalent.

I find that I need to have a variety of polishes on hand. Every car's finish is different and what works on one BMW 335 might not work on the next one I do. Sometimes I have several pads and polishes stacked up next to a car trying to see which combo works best. I'm not completely sure you can have just one company's polishes on hand if you work on a lot of different cars.

I couldn't have said it better. All cars and their paint are different, unless they came off the exact same line and was sprayed with the exact same batch of paint/clear on the exact same day.
