I just put in an order for this stuff but I was wondering if any one has used it and if so what do you think of it?
 
There is no new glaze.....are you sure this is Optimum?



I speak with David just about everyday so I know for a fact there is no new glaze, perhaps you have this confused with another product?

You won't be dissappointed with OPS. I think of it as my "VM" for sealants. Very easy to use and leaves a nice surface.
 
OK...the PS has been out for some time and talked about alot here and on other forums. Just do a search for PoliSeal and you'll get a good days of reading.

I love using the Poli Seal. It saves me a lot of time. It basically just melts into the paint and leaves the finish very slick feeling.



Are you applying it by hand or with a pc?
 
Ok, you can use a variety of pads with the Poli Seal. If I'm dealing with light swirls, I use the orange LC pad. Most of the time I just use a white polishing pad or a finishing pad. Like I said, it will basically just melt right into the paint. You don't have to use that much either, a little bit will go a long way.
 
When people tell you it melts right into the paint, they are being literal.



I had PS before a lot of the reviews came out. I expected it to have some decent cut...slightly less than OP, and I kept the product THICK on the pad because I couldn't get any working time out of it. Unfortunately that turned into an oversaturation of the product and some areas got too thick and gummed up. Those gummy areas were VERY difficult to get off, had to do a spot treatment of AIO. Just remember thin thin thin.
 
You can measure the cut of PS to be about half of OCP, yet slightly more correction than FPII.



I use FPII only on black cars now...well for those people paying $300 for an exterior only detail. PS is used on all other colors and I usually apply it via Cyclo/white pads.

Anthony, any reasons for not using OPS on the black cars you work on? I'm planning to puchase a black car and use my poliseal on it.
 
Definitely my favorite new product of the last 6 months or so. Like the others say, it will do minor correction (although not a substitute for poor prep), seems to disappear into the paint, leaves a very deep, wet finish and has around 3, maybe 4 months durability.
 
Well, I'm glad I picked up a gallon of it.:clap: It's worked pretty well on my cars so far. Thinkin about picking up some AJT and maybe even some OCW to use as a topper after washes.

I think he means he isn't using it on black cars when doing a several step detail and customers are paying for extra polishing. OPS takes the place of two steps and someone paying for two full steps wants two full steps performed.

don't buy black. it stays dirty most of the time. don't say you weren't warned. Plus the dealer will swirl it up for you even before you see the car.:wall :wall :wall

Hello,



Yea pretty much what Scott said.



I use it on black cars all the time and it looks great but when someone pays me $300 for an exterior only detail on black paint I almost always do a 4 step process and I almost always finish up with FPII.



I did a black BoxsterS today and used PoliSeal on it after a two step rotary process. So the PoliSeal will be great on your new finish.

Does anyone know how well Poli-seal would work when applied by hand and not PC/rotary? I'm still mulling over buying a PC or not (not exactly cheap for us Canadians), and depending on the status of my paint after winter, I'm tempted to try this stuff by hand and save getting the PC until later (if I do by hand its either going to be Poli-seal or Klasse AIO probably).
