Video: Optimum Hyper Polish - 2003 Honda Civic LX


Last Tuesday David Ghodoussi, President and CEO for Optimum Polymer Technologies came to Autogeek to make a video for our "New Products Showcase" feature here at our Show Car Garage Studio.

Show Car Garage Video: Optimum Hyper Polish

In this video we show using the new spray-on Optimum Hyper-Polish using both a Porter Cable 7424XP and a DeWalt 849 Rotary Buffer using a neglected 2003 Honda Civic LX as our demo car.

The Optimum Hyper Polish has a long play time, or buffing cycle, it uses both SMAT and DAT for cleaning and abrading ability and you can vary the aggressiveness of the cut by changing the aggressiveness or gentleness of your pad. For a more aggressive cut use a wool cutting pad on a rotary buffer or an aggressive foam pad on any eclectic polisher or for a finishing polish use a finishing pad on any eclectic polisher. Wipe-off is easy and the results are a clear glossy finish.
SMAT = Super Micro Abrasive Technology
DAT = Diminishing Abrasive Technology
Here's a few shots from that video and then the following Thursday I finished buffing out the rest of the car for the owner, Kendra, who was kind enough to let us user her car in our video.

On Thursday, I took some "Before Shots" to show the oxidation, swirls and water spot etchings in the paint...

After washing and claying the car we moved it back into the studio to finish buffing the rest of the car.

There wasn't too much plastic trim to tape off but anything that could be covered or taped-off was to make clean-up faster and easier.

In the video we demonstrated using a Rotary Buffer with a white foam polishing pad which worked great but for the actual buff-out I chose an aggressive yellow 6" Kompressor Pad backed up by a Meguiars Solo Easy Buff W66 Rotary Backing Plate

Even after washing and claying the paint you can see lots of embedded dirt being removed off and out of the paint as it builds up on the face of the Kompressor pad...

This is after cleaning the pad using the Grit Guard Universal Pad Washer with some DP Polishing Pad Rejuvenator

Here's the results after cutting the finishing with Optimum Hyper-Polish

Next up I'm going to use a Porter Cable 7424XP with a 5.5" White Polishing Pad with Optimum Poli-Seal to seal the paint

It's kind of hard to see but there's a thin layer of the Optimum Poli-Seal over the entire car...
