This Optimum Polish is a perfect product for the removal of swirl marks or for light to medium cutting when the compound is not needed. It has fine abrasives that will remove, not hide scratches and swirls. It will produce a perfect gloss and can be used with any type of buffing pad. It will not clog the pad and glides over the paint surface like butter. The polish works quickly to remove blemishes and create a perfect gloss, which will cut down the time spent buffing. The truly great thing about this polish is its versatility. By using more or less aggressive buffing pads and/or speeds on the buffer, this polish can act like a compound or a polish! The finish will be perfect no matter how you choose to use the polish. If you thought you would never find the perfect polish, look no more. Here it is! It is the most user-friendly polish you will ever see, and the results will astound you! There are no silicones or waxes in the product. It is body shop safe and can be used in any shop.
