    This was in participation of 3D's review program ongoing.

    Setup and Step-by-Step


    Began by just a quick waterless wash with UWW and claying with Nanoskin fine grade towel

    Here is an example of some of the scratches found on this vehicle

    And the products (Optimum Hyper Polish and HD Polish both on Optimum MF Pads)
    Cars all taped up!

    After using both here is my consensus
    They have both have a similar level of cut but their application and dusting is what differed. In my opinion Optimum Hyper Polish is fantastic regarding dusting as there is absolutely none but to me I am not a fan of spray application after using it. I find that when spraying it it either sprays everywhere beyond the pad or comes out in a stream and doesn't evenly coat the pad. I've tried adjusting the spray nozzle but I can't seem to find that sweet spot, so right now when I spray the pad I do it over an empty box or in a garbage can. Now as for HD Polish it's just the same as any other polish, easy to figure out how much, priming the pad, etc... As for dusting there was minor dusting, nothing absolutely crazy but as compared to Optimum Hyper Polish this was a negative. One thing I did like quite a bit about HD Polish is that wipe-off is extremely easy it's nowhere near as oily as other polishes and just a simple wipe and buff leaves the surface clean and bare.

    Overall I do like having HD Polish in the arsenal and it has it's pros and cons as compared to Optimum Hyper Polish but as for now until I try it on foam pads it sits slightly below it due to the dusting.


    Thanks for reading post up any questions or tips!

    I can assure you it is just coincidence that 2 people received the same product in a short amount of time.

    Tip for the OPT spray. put it in a different bottle, or purchase a better spray head like the ones they sell at USPLASTICS. better control, better pattern

    Thanks! I like the ones that come on Chemical Guys V7 bottles and a few others I'll have to look for them on there.

    I like those sprayer that came with DG aquawax, the Optmum GPS is spraying fine with them.

    Yes, the chemical guys ones are ok. but the seals give out over time. The grey ones that USplastics sells, chemical guys also sells as well
