An aggressive compound that performs like a polish!   

The word compound makes some detailers a little nervous. The term is generally associated with gritty, abrasive polishes that leave hazy, swirled paint. While you can correct these problems by using a less intense polish, wouldn’t it be easier to use a gentler compound? It does exist. It’s called Optimum Compound and it could save you a step or two as you detail.

Optimum Compound is an aggressive compound that finishes like a polish. It does not leave the haze, dust, and swirl marks that result from many compounds. Instead, your vehicle’s paint will be shiny and smooth with no major swirl marks. And of course, Optimum Compound removes deep swirls, scratches, and oxidation like a traditional compound. It can remove 1200 grit sand scratch marks while still performing like a polish. After removing defects, you may be able to go straight to a finishing polish rather than using multiple polishes to refine the surface. Optimum Compound buffs like a polish and shines like a wax!

Optimum Compound has a longer working time than many compounds to prevent dry buffing. Although it is full of lubricants, it contains no silicone oils or wax, so it is completely body shop safe.

Optimum says their compound can be used at any speed on your polisher and with a wool or foam pad. When using a wool buffing pad, the compound will remove 1200 sand scratches and lighter at 1000-1400 RPM. Faster buffing speed is not needed with this product. When using a medium or heavy cut foam pad, the compound will remove 1500 sand scratches and lighter at 1000-1400 RPM. The compound works more or less aggressively depending on the pad you choose. If necessary, follow up with Optimum Polish to refine the paint surface before applying Optimum Wax.
If compounds have you confounded, try the one that performs like a polish. Optimum Compound will remove severe paint defects without causing new ones!
