I got the Optimum compound and polish but not going to use it until after December. I'm going to use this with the cyclo polisher. The cyclo cuts better than the porter cable but dusts really fast and can leave micro marring. The poorboys left micro marring and dusted fast. The pinnacle XMT had less dusting and the micro marring wasn’t that bad.
From what I read on autopia, optimum works great with the cyclo.
I was wondering if any one here has used this compound and polish? Also how abrasive is it when it’s used with foam pads on the cyclo?

I have used OP on the rotary and PC, but not the cyclo. I imagine if you get dusting with the OP, you are doing something REALLY wrong because it dusts less than any other polish I have used (does not dust at all really)

I hv used OP and OHP via cyclo and had a long work time and little dust.

That’s perfect because it seems like the cyclo needs working time to compound properly. I think the optimum might just do the trick for the cyclo or at least I hope so [-o<
