Ron@Optimum Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Dr G has made some tweaks to ONR (something he does more than people know) that resulted in better "release" characteristics and improved cleaning - dirt falls off wash media more easily and keep the wash media cleaner. There are other revisions being tested on several products and announcements will be forthcoming. Dr G NEVER rushes reformulations, but they are worth waiting for.

AMDG75 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Similar to a software update, could Dr. G provide a solution (update, if you will) to his disciples that we could add to our existing supply of ONR? That way his loyal car wash addicts could have the upgraded formula without having to wait until we exhaust what we have. 😋 (I just bought a bottle of ONR, and as that goes a long way,.)

LostVulpine Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ron, I think I might know the answer but will there be any noticeable difference in the packaging between the old and new formula? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 no packaging/labeling changes - only major reformulations are worth investing in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVulpine Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I thought that would be the answer, totally understand the costs changing packaging - be interesting to see if the users in Europe (like myself) notice the difference as it starts to filter through to us . . .

No Soap Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Give us some hints how to identify the newest version, please! 🤗 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 there is no way to know...and that's why we hesitate to tell people there's been a change. When we make big changes, rare as that is, we make sure we've reduced inventory of the old product and put New Formula stickers. The only way I knew is that Danny Cantrell, a OPT Regional Mgr, posted on Facebook that the latest ONR had some different characteristics. I asked DR G and he mentioned small tweaks in the formula.

Setec Astronomy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Great news...I've been clamoring for less media staining ever since products came to market that did better at that than ONR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Setec, that's why I posted, knew it was a legitimate complaint about ONR...and also new competition being introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddetailer Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Optimum No rinse and Seal? perhaps Yes, I'm hoping I can identify this new formula with a "gold sticker" like other optimum products. If not, I don't want to feel like I've been tricked to buy an old batch when I want to experiment with new stuff. Now I'm praying for a new Opti Seal formulation, time to kick that TW out of the water. habs33 and LostVulpine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 I know Dr G has been in the lab, working on new products AND reformulations. Optimum is always careful to ensure old formula product is nearly gone before shipping new - though we have no control over our distributors inventories. In general, a product like ONR turns quickly and there should be little old inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
