Setec Astronomy Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Is it my imagination, or didn't the spray polishes used to cost around $18 for the the 18oz spray bottle? Because now they are $30. The GPS is $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 the price increases, taken about a year ago, were the first Optimum has taken, period! They came in the face of rising chemical, packaging, labeling, shipping, and labor costs - Dr G put it off as long as he could.

Setec Astronomy Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 My original thought was that if low sales was the reason the lotion/creme polishes were discontinued, then that doesn't bode well for the spray polishes at the current price point. However, it seems I haven't been keeping up with the price of polishes/compounds, there are certainly more expensive ones out there, and less (on a per-ounce basis). But most of those other polishes have an entry point for the smallest bottle of $20-24. Maybe an 8oz non-spray bottle of the spray polishes would be a good entry-point addition to the line, especially since most people seem to dislike/not use/break the sprayers.

Ron@Optimum Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Dr G is trying to reduce SKUs, not increase. He's very proud to have the only spray polish/compounds available (even if they can be problematic to find spray heads for) and I don't see him going back to pastes/non spray.

Ron@Optimum Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 FYI, we make sample sizes of Hyper products, just don't advertise. You can call Shay to order... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 LOL...okay. I'm afraid to use my Poli-Seal because I can't get any more, I don't like using my GPS because every time I shake it up I get solvent all over my hand. I thought maybe I'd order another bottle of GPS to put in a squeeze bottle....but not for $30 when my bottle is almost full. I'll just have to find a cap, take the sprayer out, and shake it up real good and pour it into something else. And I guess do the same thing with my Hyper Compound and Hyper Polish, since every time I get the sprayer to work, the next time it...doesn't. Oh, and that's too complicated to have to call up to get a sample size, who uses the phone anymore? If I can't put it in my internet cart, well...I guess I'm not getting a sample size.

I have replaced the sprayer with one of those Chemical guys pop up caps and if I shake it I just get hyper polish all over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted September 11, 2020 Author Share Posted September 11, 2020 I'm not sure where mine is leaking when I shake it, whether it's from the threads or somewhere else in the sprayer. I have to go through my bottles and dispenser caps and find something to put the GPS in, I'm pretty sure I can find something that will work. I think I had to change the sprayer on the GPS because it exploded, unless it was on one of the other spray polishes that that happened.
