Ron@Optimum Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Optimum has announced it is discontinuing Compound ll, Polish ll, and Finish Polish. The emphasis going forward in on the Hyper line of spray polishes which represent the latest technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 That's a shame, the paste polishes were my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 well sales had slipped in favor of the sprays and only the most finicky owner needed Finish Polish (Hyper Polish with finishing pad was almost as good). The number of products...and slight differences between them...cause mistakes and confusion. The more SKUs you have, the less efficient the manufacturing/distribution process. Remember when McDonald's only had a limited menu - everything was fresh and served fast (real "fast food"), now it's sitting under a heat lamp.

Lowejackson Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Not a problem, just a preference. Always in favour of efficiency, in fact I agree with everything that rambling British guy was saying about efficiency when he was on the Synergy Podcast. I am sure he is available for work anywhere in the world for a reassuringly expensive rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's like clutter in your home, you keep adding products without deleting and eventually you run out of room and add all the related expenses (packaging, labels, components, etc). When you do a cost/income analysis you realize you need to eliminate slow moving products. Dr G has the normal pride in his "creations" but understands that improving efficiencies frees up capitol for new products and research.

A&J Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Im sorry Ill never get to use Finish polish but I do get it...the Hyper line is the future and Hyper polish is a good enough finishing polish and for whatever reason its not then there is still Poli-seal available that finishes brilliantly on whatever finicky paint! My wifes car has soft finicky paint and Ive found poli-seal to be the go-for polish for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 and for a spray version of Poli-Seal, there's GPS. I've used GPS as an all-in-one on everything from cars to kitchen counter tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I think A&J has produced a video about GPS or perhaps my memory is failing me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 You are getting old Steven 😉it was poli - seal...as of yet I have not gotten my hands on GPS. With hyper compound, hyper intensive polish, hyper polish and 2 bottles of poli seal I just dont find the need for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 A&J, hope some GPS comes your way - one of my favorites as a light polish and all in one. Have had success with some poorly maintained cars of friends when I didn't want to break out the DA and Hyper products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Well, I'm going to miss those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olds394 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Ron, can you tell me if GPS cuts the same as Poli-Seal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yes, GPS is the spray version of Poli-Seal and has similar cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
