Default optimum compound vs mezerna power gloss

Hi,

From your experiences is the mezerna power gloss worth 2x the price of the optimum compound or hyper compound?

Thanks

Ditto here, I've tested both on the same panel, same machine (Flex 3401), same lighting, and just couldn't into what the Optimum polishes due compared to the Menzerna polishes, especially PG and IP (and SIP for that matter).

i own both and Optimum for me just didn't' have the same cut as Menzerna, just my opinion though. I'm very pleased with Menzerna, great product to me it's worth every penny but again that's just me.

Sorry about that, was meant to say I just couldn't really get into how the Opt polishes perform compared to the Menz polishes. Same as Nice, nowhere near the same bite level. Man, I really chopped up that post now that I read it again...

M105 is very quick, two passes and its done. Power gloss you can quite quit a few passes out it before its working time is done.
