BTW- I was talking to Justin Murphy from Clean-4-U Mobile Detailing......he said that he has been putting on Opti-Seal with a white polishing pad and the PCwith excellent results. I'm gonna have to try that sometime.

Sounds interesting. Never thought about trying that. Seems like you'd use alot more product using such a big pad. I wonder if it would be better to use a 4in pad. Just a thought.

Yeah I would think you would be using more product with a machine. I can put it on pretty fast by hand!

It probably burnishes it into the finish better but like you said. I can put it on pretty quick by hand. I still havent tried putting a paste on with a PC. I may have to try that with some NB.

The opti-seal is pretty amazing isn't it? I switched to a white applicator pad and the results were insane!!

It takes me all of 10 minutes to completely go over my car!! I'm probably 10 coats deep right now. I can soak my car & hose it down, let the sun evaporate all the water & take Juztangs custom ObsessiveDetail quick detailer & wipe away the spots! Rain no longer etches my paint!! That was my biggest beef with having a black car!! Any water that wans't wiped off would etch in the sun!
