    To bad to hear about Opti Seal, I love it for the simplicity and just how well it works for Bulk Work.

    Bence you are always providing informative and interesting posts
    I dont use optimum anymore but do respect those that use it
    Menzerna is my go to and the aussie weather suits them to a tea (except for the tropical areas) up north

    Interesting that scholl is designed to get marks out that quick
    Probably brilliant for express shops but I get whatever time I need and get so much fun from burnishing a polish for 3 to 5 mins
    Takes longer but gives a better finish than I got with less working time

    While it's great to get marks out at 1800 to 3000 rpm in 10 seconds, I'd prefer to use lower speed and Menz or Prima and work them in for a few minutes

    Does it cost me time and money - perhaps but I get well paid by my customers.

    Matt, Scholl Concepts products are designed for climate controlled assembly line environments.

    Is OP good to use with a PC? I have been hearing that they are mainly good for people that use rotary?

    Depends on who you ask, I like it with either but it ain't the fastest by PC. Fast isn't my priority though.

    I have to agree when i 1st started using opt products' i was so use to using others' i did not use it the right way when i finally came to my senses' and used it the right way i was amazed it is an awsome product for the price and ease of use it is not for everyone but everyone should try it just once :spank:

    As I read this, less (3 pea size drops) is better for Optimum?

    I think I am going to give my optimum polish another try but, use way less this time. My question is after the pad is primed, how much more polish do you add per panel?

    you us as much as you need for the application your doing it varies' from one to another more less you have to decide as you do it and the pad makes' the difference too
