Last Saturday I finally used some Optimum products for the first time Car Wash Concentrate and QD, the soap worked well but the QD was amazing the gloss it leaves and hopefully soon I will get a chance to use Opti-Seal. My question is I have been washing and waxing my own cars since 1994 but I dont own or know how to use a machine and to be honest I have only used Klasse All In One no other polish and I have always applied and removed it by hand. I am looking for an Optimum product to replace Klasse AIO there is nothing wrong with Klasse AIO I just want to use the same brand of products. My main objective is to protect my vehicle which is garaged and washed on a weekly basis with a proper wash technique. I will be using Optimum Opti-Seal as my last step product for protection so I dont want my polish to leave any protection behind but I want the product to be as gentle as possible not removing any clear coat or paint remember I will be applying and removing by hand in essence I basically want a paint cleanser. To get to the point which Optimum polish do you recommend I use?
 
Removing clear by hand? You don't need to worry about that at all. That is like thinking if you scrub your tires too much, you'll wear out the tires.
 
The new Optimum Hyper Polish works fine by hand, but really, if you want to get real results, you really need to use a buffer. You stand a much better chance marring the finish working by hand (fingertips make nasty marring all over) than removing excess clear using a DA (or even a rotary) polisher.



I did all my polishing by hand professionally for 10 years until I switched to using a machine. I won't be going back to hand polishing. You simply cannot polish as deeply or evenly by hand as you can with a good DA, and the proper pads, polishes and techniques.
