jdoria Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I used Poli-Seal after Meguiars M205 today. I applied the Poli-Seal with a PC and back LC CCS pad. I see small clumps like this in some areas. They arent easy to remove. I tried ONR and then IPA to get them off. any ideas why this happened and how to fix in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I used high speed. Should Poli-Seal "disappear" into the paint? I am doing that, but am not certain that is its intended application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublifecrisis Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 not sure if this applies to your problem but I've learned that black pads are too soft for poli-seal's buttery consistency. It just soaks into the pad too quickly. I use a white pad and it seems to work longer. It still dissapears eventually but majority of the product is being worked between the pad and paint versus the soft black pad sucking it up onto the backing plate.

Bence Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Speed 6 on a DA should not cause concerns with OPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 White pad sounds aggressive after a 3 step polishing process, no? Or is Poli-Seal not the product for that? Speed not an issue? Any other ideas Bence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bence Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Speed on a DA is not an issue given OPS' great lubrication. I'm using it mainly with a rotary, using speeds between 1000 and 1400. OPS is highly tunable. You can use it with a stiffer pad to rmove mild imperfections and also with a finishing/finessing pad which are functionaly nonabrasive. In this case OPS will behave as a sealant. You can play with the dosage to see how is it performing with the given pad. Best is when it doesn't leave a trace/residue.

jdoria Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 So what is Optimum's recommended LSP? Opti-seal and Optimum Car Wax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Orosco Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 At the Concours shop we use Poli-Seal for mainly 1 steps. On some cars we may polish with Optimum Polish and then finish with Poli-Seal. We almost always use an orbital for the Poli-Seal. It's also great for wheels, door jams, engine areas. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks Anthony. I couldnt properly place the product. I am very impressed with the Optimum products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Integrity - dont be offended. AIO - All-In-One, but I thought people were using this like Z5pro also. Doing so is only using a small portion of what the product offers. And thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I just stripped my Infiniti and am doing an Optimum only detail tomorrow. I am so impresed with the slickness of the products. This car used to be my Z2 test bed, now its Optimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdoria Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 I was just playin, but seriously I love PS on glass and door jambs as another use. Also, I will use PS after polishing to remove the residue and add some protection making a two step a little faster. I was just thinking it you were going to the trouble of a three step process, then I personally would use a more specific product. I buy it by the gallon, so you know I'm putting it on something, LOL. Still getting that clumping, although the introduction of more product resolved the issue. The Optimum products are excellent, I cant complain. I did a Poli-Seal topped with Opti-Seal, then Optimum Car Wax. The car is slick as can be. Any recommendations on the combos and curing times?
