Has anyone ever mixed polishes ?

[mpmiller37]

I was wondering if anyone has ever mixed polishes. For example suppose I liked the results of IP and the working time of #80, could the 2 be mixed during aplication or does this lead to problems ?

I've mixed Optimum Polish and Optimum compound and used it to great success. I can see this working because both the polish and the compound are made by the same company... I don't know if mixing brand would work.

Yow! I have heard of people mixing the various Optimum polishes to get an "in-between", but even polishes in the same series from the same manufacturer can have different working principles (Meg's 80-series). I think it would be a long shot that different brands could be mixed with good results...unless of course you're in that other thread where all the products come from the same plant...

You may come up with a miracle product and you may come up with a rotten egg. I would like to think that the different abrasives will break down differently with different the different lubrication that the products are likely to have. Make sense?



(OT) I don't think anyone indicated in the other thread that *all* the products come from the same plant but there's clearly a number of rebottled goods out there. (Back to topic)
