Do you like them? How do they compare to other polishes? Are they easy or difficult to use? Do they dust very much? How well do they finish out?
Please share your thoughts on these products. Thank You.

I picked up some small samplers and thought they were OK. Little dusting, long working times. The formulas have since been upgraded and I haven't tried the newer ones.

I didn't use Optimum II polish & compound much because the Opt Hyper Polish and Compound is superior, IMO. Compound doesn't have quite the cut as M105 but it's decent and finishes well. Hyper Polish works long as well, little to no dusting with either. I thought the sprayers were going to be more useful but the Compound is kinda blobby coming out of the early sprayers. I understand they've upgraded them and are vastly improved.

The Finishing Polish was OK, for finishing bling I prefer 85rd or Ultrafina.

If the Closeout prices on Opt II polish & compound caught your eye you just can't go wrong at that price. Might be the old formulas for all I know but they're still high quality, diminishing abrasive polishes.

I've used the Optimum Polish, the label is gone from the bottle now so I can't relate what version. I found it to be quite capable at removing light imperfections (have not tested it on heavier issues so I can't comment on the upper limits) and finished nicely. I can't recall the dusting issue mentioned above. The closeout pricing shown in the links is pretty darned good.

Thanks for the info, yea it was those prices that got me interested. I don't really need any polish or compound right now but I figured if it was decent stuff I would go ahead and get it for the future.
 
I have both. The work time is extremely long, im assuming it is a diminishing abrasive as they say it finishes like a polish.

I do not have any issues with it dusting.

This swirled to hell E36 328i's hood was corrected with OPT Comp/Polish

Lots of RIDS/Cracked/Chipped defects are in the hood but the overall finish was stellar
