Sweet! I actually prefer to spray on the panel, then dab the pad into the product to completely cover the pad

A couple of days ago I was hanging out with my neighbor after work. Sharing a drink and a burger, and his gf asked if I could look at a scuff her daughter's boy friend put on the front hee new Jeep Cherokee. I had my "Optimum Kit" with me. Included is my old Porter Cable 7424, optimun pads, and the full range of Optimum abrasives. I used their orange waffle pad with the Hyper Compound. In one pass anything that was going to come out, came out. Only the finger nail catchers remained. Washed the pad in the pad washer, sprayed Hyper Polish, and gave a quick, light polish to the entire hood for her. Followed up with Optimun Car Wax, and it looked absolutely gorgeous.

I’m addicted to your videos. Thanks!

Love this product line for Optimum, thanks for the video.

I really like the look of this stuff as it truly is unique on the market. The way it primes pads evenly is a big plus for me. Have plenty of compounds but this one is on my list to try in the future. Thanks for the video Brian.

I like the Optimum Hyper Twins. I do find the Compound clogs up the spray nozzle the next time I go to use it if I forget to take it out and clean it with water. As an amateur I liked that it was easy to work with, long working time and easy to spray on the pad. I also like how it doesn't stain the plastic trim, as I'm rarely thorough enough to tape everything off.

How would you clean without pad washer

For a paint enhancement-light defect removal would you use the intensive polish (a compound & polish together) and a microfiber polishing pad?

@danlc95

2 жыл бұрын

I've had luck with a green or blue Hex Logic / Buff and Shine. Since the last time I used it I got Optimum waffle pads, and would compare the green to the orange waffle. I personally find the green foam to cut better.

Could you do that level of a correction after wetsanding with just a DA maschine? Or is only achieveable with a rotary first then a DA?

@apexdetail85

5 жыл бұрын

If you ask me...I will always go with wet sanding. However most shy away from it and the rotary as well.

Where can I get 7" rotary pads? I got a harbor fraight rotary for Christmas and haven't a clue where to get pads. My harbor fraight does not carry them.

So, let me make sure I saw what I think I saw. The rotary with either pad finished down much better than the DA with the Honey wool pad? If you had used the LC wool on the DA do you think it would have at least finished down as well as the Rotary? Did the Honey at least cut deeper than the RO with the wools?

@apexdetail85

The LC pad finished the best here. You can certainly use them on a longthrow DA. The Honey is the deepest and fastest cutting pad I currently have.

You kept saying the pads were "seasoned". What does that mean? Obviously, they were prepped with something. Does that mean they were soaked with the product and allowed to sit for a while?

You can season a pad in many ways....A detail spray, pad cleaner, The polish or compound. Just as long as you are not applying a dry pad to finish.

My guess is not taking the time to learn how to utilize it. It is Not aggressive out of the gate. I enjoy it but I have more patience than most.

Remember to keep the speed down to get maximum cut! About 3 on DA, depending on the machine. It is counter intuitive, I know, but you should test it?
