Thanks Ron

Hyper Seal would give you the best durability, plus UV and chemical protection...short of ceramic it would be my choice (and it contains some ceramic).

I just purchased a new travel trailer with fiberglass siding, I plan on washing it with ONR. Would Hyperseal work well on that to protect it or do you have another suggestion. Thank you

Gotcha. Thanks much!

it would take multiple applications of concentrated Power Clean to remove Hyper Seal...the addition of ceramic makes it even tougher!

will do

Hi Ron, oh wow, thanks for going the extra mile by asking Dr G -great to know that ONR is an even better product than advertised! Please thank Dr G for me and tell him I really enjoyed his TRCMA presentation / interview with Levi last Thursday afternoon!

Dr G states ONR does have anti-bacterial benefits (car wash does not), but Optimum cannot claim without getting FDA approval and that's not worth the effort. FYI

My bad, "Assure", not Aspire. You're asking a lot from a car wash and I don't know any that do all the things you mention, would be a very complicated chemistry. What do "wash & clean" have to do with killing germs? https://www.opticoat.com/product/optimum-assure/

Optimum Aspire? Not found on the OPT website? Please share the image & a url link. Why are the words wash & clean used in these products, if germs, bacteria & viruses still remain? We are in constant contact with the water, wash media & exterior car surfaces that have bird droppings, so how in the world are we supposed to easily ensure we aren’t carelessly spreading droppings bacteria etc allll over the car surfaces (especially frequently touched surfaces, ie: door, trunk and hood), not to mention our own skin?

I don't believe any car wash product is anti-bacterial. Optimum Aspire, however, is anti-bacteria, fungus, mildew - revolutionary product that cleans and disinfects surfaces from most common bacteria including Covid-19 virus as well being a fungicide and controlling mildew. Assure disinfects and deodorizes hard, non-porous surfaces such as: cars, trucks, campers, RVs, boats and other watercraft including ships and barges, public transportation, trains, taxis, airplanes, and helicopters. Assure kills 99.9% of household and institutional bacteria and viruses including Covid-19 virus on hard non-porous surfaces.

Good question!

@Ron - related question! If I apply Hyper Seal after a wash, that should give several solid months of protection. In the event of a buildup of road grime, I usually spray with some 5:1 Power Clean and then rinse w/ ONR+BRS. You previously said that's not an issue with OGC, but since (as I understand) Hyper Seal isn't as strong of a bond with the clear coat, what effect does OPC have?

Is diluted ONR going to kill germs & viruses associated with bird droppings? Car door, trunk handles etc?

I did. I did my cousin's car almost a year ago, and hers is still working well too. I just saw it on Easter Sunday. I've been using the spray and wipe method at work though. I feel like I use too much, but it's really efficient to just light spray, spread out, and wipe off. I'll probably end up going back to the applicator before long though. I like that I can really get a nice thin film of it spread out. Great product for sure.

@Ron@Optimumused the 2nd gen hyper seal today on a new customers car. Regular ONR wash and used the Hyper Seal on a wet panel. 2 sprays into my drying towel to prime and a 1/4 pull of the trigger. The water was vanishing. I couldn’t believe it. I thought opti seal was a cheat code but this stuff rocks. The trigger sprayer stinks. I’ll be transferring into an old opti seal bottle.

@dlc95 did you apply with an applicator?

I put the 2nd gen Hyper Seal on my mom's car around August or September, and it's still going strong!

Easy to apply and easy to use too much (specially with it's sprayer) - prime the pad/towel, then a couple sprays on the paint - spread until the applicator gets grabby, then add another spray or 2. If it streaks you're using too much...easy to remove streaks with an ONR dampened MF. Use on every surface (except rubber, doesn't bond) - paint, glass, plastic, metal, vinyl, etc

@Ron@Optimum do you need to clean the empty Opti Seal bottle with paint prep first before transferring the Hyper Seal?

Sounds awesome thank you! I went ahead and ordered Hyper Seal before you had responded so I’ll be applying that to my customers car. Brand new BMW I5 in Vegas Red. I’ll probably apply it after drying the paint. Any tips on working with Hyper Seal?

So far so good - have had road trips and lots of rain so have maintained with new Optimum Waterless Wash & Shine and Ultra still looks great - is slick AND beads water like a demon! I applied it as a drying aid, spray on wet panel then dry. Short of ceramic coating, Ultra or Hyper Seal are very close to spray on ceramics. On my garage queen I primed a microfiber and sprayed directly on the paint. Since the little beauty rarely gets out, can't speak to durability, but it sure is shiny!

@Ron@Optimum how has the Ultra Ceramic Seal been holding up? When you applied it, what was your method? One spray per panel, directly to the paint or into a towel first etc. I have a customer who wants some protection but not willing to pay for a coating so I was thinking of getting some of the Ultra Ceramic Seal.

that's a point of difference between Opti-Seal, Ultra, and Hyper Seal - you can use OS on interiors including leather. Ultra and Hyper are too slick to be used on seats. I've used Opti-Seal on interior trim, but not seats (my seats are all treated with Opti-Guard Leather). OS restored some color to faded door/dash vinyl and protected it against future fading.

I just was looking at the Optimum store at Amazon and saw the Opti-Seal suggested for interiors--Ron, would that just be for vinyl/plastic/wood/chrome, but not on the leather seats? I'd imagine you'd slide right out onto the floor if you used it on the seats. Although there is another WOWA interior product that says you can use it on leather, also, which I think I have done. I don't think I even would have bought that if I realized you can use Opti-Seal on interiors.
