Optical fillers fill in swirls and marring using fillers contained in the polish, these are usually Kaolin/china clay, this will leave the surface optically smoother, basic physics tells us that the angle of incidence = the angle of reflection; the smoother the surface the better the reflection. :hugegrin: Hope this makes more sense :yup: It gets worse the deeper you understand Detailing, dont worry we wont talk about the Cloud Point of surfactants quite yet :chortle:
