jlspeed29 · 06-16-2008, 11:16 AM

Sorry I dont have any pix to show (its really hard to show just how great this product is on an AW 335)
But definitely give it a try!!
After reading some good reviews on this

product
It works great! and Smells great!!!

I ended up getting the bigger bottle here because I am going to use it on 3 cars
To be honest, it blows meguiars and mothers out of the water!

Just though I'd share my experience!!

Any questions please ask!
Or if you have had a different experience using Optimum please share!

Best quick detailer I've used, the only other one I would like to try is FK-425, because I've heard great things about it also. As far as all other quick detailers, they can't compare to Optimum in regards to results and price.

whats FK-425?

JOYRIIDE1113 · 06-16-2008, 12:53 PM

#425 from Fk1 can be found on fk1usa.com

Its a very good product. Better than Optimum in the sense that the protection and look it adds last longer. Its just as easy to apply and does not streak. Works wells anywhere, heck, Iused to use it as an interior detailer inbetween clean ups.

i have been using CG white nuba QD with great results..i am also a fan of Swissvax qd but in sunlight or on hot days i have found it evaporates very quickly..the CG nuba spray has been awesome..on my e34 540 it makes it look like i just gave it a full detail.

i've also heard that FK-425 works well w/ a sealant LSP and CG speed wipe is good w/ a wax LSP.

jlspeed29 · 06-16-2008, 01:47 PM

LSP?

I guess I need to get some of the OP
I've read good things about it.

jlspeed29 · 06-16-2008, 03:13 PM

You guys should also try Prima Slick. Here's a review: http://www.autopia.org/forum/detaili...ck-review.html Best QD I've used so far. really does leave a slick feel to the paint.

picus · 06-16-2008, 06:42 PM

I like FK425 a little better than OID, but OID is much cheaper in bulk, so I buy it.

BayerischeMW · 06-16-2008, 06:50 PM

who sells FK outside of the US?

I like it over 425 without a doubt

AJerman · 06-16-2008, 10:20 PM

Yeah, I hear OQD is great, but I have a full gallon of Speedwipe and it works great itself, so I'll just finish it off then try something else.

ducati955 · 06-20-2008, 09:21 AM

both of these products can be used over zaino correct???

cyphr · 06-20-2008, 02:07 PM

Both OQD and FK-425 can be used with zaino. I'm partial to FK-425 myself. However, zaino's line is also very good i.e. Z6 and Z8. Z8 is more of an LSP though and offers good protection.
