Optimum products: need all 3?

[autobahn]

Do you need all three of the optimum system?



On autogeek, they CLAIM that any of the optimums can be used by themselves, however I know that's not going to be the case.



However, can one skip from hyper right to the polish? or do you need to work your way down through the steps?

I could live without OC. And yes, you can go from OHC to OP...assuming you didn't apply OHC with a wool pad.

OHC and OP are both great to have, plus you can mix them 50/50 for something close to OC.

does optimum dust and have oils?

No dusting even in the full sun and it has some light lubricating oils but they don't seem to have any filling properties.

Maybe i was mistaken i thought optimum was a rotary product.

From what I've read OP is more effective on a rotary than on a DA. OC and OHC work fine on a DA though from what I've read and experienced (OC). I prefer OC over OP on a DA, or a 50/50 mix.

^ it depends on how bad the defects are i think personally. I find Opt polish and compound have the same cutting consistency on my rotary for certain jobs. I also find Opt compound overall more effective by rotary for heavy swirl marking over a pc. If light marring, an orange pad with Polish suffices as well on my pc. So it really matters the panel you are working on.
