Some guys will set up ONR in a insecticide type pump sprayer. Spray down an area, say roof and hood. They will then begin the No Rinse as suaul on the roof, this gives the ONR solution time to dwell on the hood, which is where most of the grime is from bugs and such. Then No Rinse the hood as usual. Move on around the car until done. No Rinse is designed to break down and emulsify grime so some cars will be clean and ready for drying after one pass of your mitt. Other will need 2 or 3 passes. The test is to look at your drying towel. It should be pretty much free from dirt after drying a panel. Anthony

None in Opti-Seal. It's safe for PPF.

We are so behind and back logged on our contributions to this forum it's not funny. We finally got our blog up just the other day...... So we are doing videos and such but tough finding time to edit them and even post. There is a big change coming to the forums in the form of them becoming larger......."possibly". The name will change but the "optimum" will stay and become a sub-forum to a much larger community. You can visit our website www.concoursautosalon.com and from there visit our blog and see what's going on with our shop. Anthony

It's lasted 3 years here in South Texas.........which is mildly hot

Shawn, This would be up to Dr. G himself. Give him a call and talk with him about it.

Honestly I don't know about the cost.....last I knew it would sell for around $90 for several ounces. That amount should do at least 3 sedan size cars or at least 4 Porsche size cars. We charge $150 for a coating application on top of what we charge for paint correction. So if it costs $300 for paint correction add another $150 for the Opti-Coat. We (or the installer) guarantee the Opti-Coat against failure in the sense of durability. We don't guarantee against hard water spots or etching from eggs, bird bombs, etc. We sell it like this: Opti-Coat is a paint sealant on steroids. Think of it as giving you all the benefits of a wax or sealant (gloss, shine, protection) but with at least 3 years durability. As for Corvettes.....it works fine, as well as on boats. Anthony

It can be used on plastics BUT it is also a bit more difficult to remove from these surfaces so make sure you do a test area prior to full application and that you also tape off trim that it mat get on by mistake. It will not clean nor restore plastics and trim so that needs to be done prior to Opti-Coat application. Opti-Coat will give these surfaces somewhat of a shine and will also protect them from fading. I would not recommend Opti-Coat on rubber trim or surfaces that "flex" or are porous. If in question the best thing is to test an inconspicuous area first. Anthony

Nothing yet but I believe if you call Optimum you can get on the product list as again there is no stock on hand of the product it's made as you order it. Make sure you have some of those blue shop towels for application, alcohol for pre-application wipe downs and some nice microfiber towels dedicated to Opti-Coat buffing only. I'll post up later in this forum our application method. Anthony

As far as I know it is only slated for pros at the moment. The main issue here is someone using it in a way or applying it to an area that would not be easily removed. Pro's are also the main target because it works best on paint that has been properly prepped and finished out. It can be a temperamental product to apply so there is a bit of a learning curve. This policy may change at a later date but for now I believe it stands to be sold to pros only. Thanks, Anthony

Well the time is at hand, finally, for Opti-Coat (Opti-Guard) to be released! Those of you who are professional detailers can start placing your orders with Optimum perhaps as early as next week. Just a final re-wording of the release form is all that is needed and that should be finished in the next day. I realize this product has taken a great while to get out but it's finally here. I will announce on this thread when the official date will be but look for the ability to place orders for Opti-Coat next week sometime, of that I am pretty certain. Anthony

Nice find I have something similar to those that I also use for ONR and buffing glass. Anthony

Using AIO after the 1z will remove the 1z. If you wait at least 24 hours after the 1z then the OptiSeal should work with no problem. As long as there are no cleaners in the products you're using you can lay down some OS and then cover that with some wax or sealant also. If the paint is in nice shape you can also lay down some PoliSeal and then OptiSeal. Anthony

Not certain but it sounds like a "sales" post for items he has linked. Have to keep an eye on it. I PM'd the guy.

Good to hear that Jerry!

Very Nice! Great gloss on both cars, especially the Ford. Did you wax the ribbons also
