jdoria Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Can Someone validate the fact if the Optimum polish/compound line contains diminishing or non-diminishing abrasives? I was looking to do a side-by-side write-up with the new M105 / M205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunky Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think it has both...wrap your head around that, haha! Does it matter? I would just like to see a comparison. Use the one that works best for you and ignore the marketing hype that goes along with the a new production. Diminishing, non-diminishing, agoraphobic, whatever.

blackjz Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 can we use OP II with the KB method (which is a hype on autopia)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Orosco Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 can we use OP II with the KB method (which is a hype on autopia)? Here's my take on the KB method.....why? (And this has nothing against Kevin personally) What I mean by "why?" is, from my understanding you need to work the product in (and yes this method can be used with other polishes/compounds) for a good amount of time so is it not possible that the same amount of time spent on one PC/KB method can also be done in 2 rotary steps.....in the same amount of time, perhaps less?

Scott H. Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I know the good doctor has metioned working with some non-diminishing abrasives but I can't say for sure if they have in fact been incorporated into the new polishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjz Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 wow that's a good thing to know if OPT makes non diminishing abrasive polishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junebug Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Here's my take on the KBM, although the official paper hasn't been posted, I have learned the basics from guys that Kevin has taught. And it's the same thing-technique that the bodyshop guy I use to work for did. Let's see, plenty of polish, heavy pressure to start then lightnen up, work it till defect is gone. And this guy was using a DeWalt, wool pad and 3M EC, follow with foam and Ultrafina and you're done. Now it's M105-205 and a PC, I'll bet 3M, Menzerna, Optimum, etc would work too.

blackjz Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 coool.. i ll try kbm method using OP II when i got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 KBM, ah yes it is a revival of the old days...or not so old days. I like pad priming. I like what I call jeweling. Start with heavy pressure, then gradually relieve pressure as I go. I like to polish for a long time, and look through the polish as I go. I like the flexibility of a multi-finish, multi-machine polish I'd love to buy just one product line. Optimum is the closest I know of to the perfect product line. ONR - 10 OCW - 10 OPS - 10 OOS - 10 OID - 10 I'm yet to try the tire products. I'll try the polishes for certain, but I have a way to go before I finish the gallons of Menzerna and Meguiars I have.

Anthony Orosco Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The polishes work great and can be used in conjunction with one another and other manufacturer products. Poli-SEal and OS are a fav combo of many detailers. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
