I have been using coatings for about 5-6 years. At first I used Optimum Gloss Coat and did all my personal cars and my parents cars etc and had great luck about 18 months on daily drivers and on my moms car it is still going great at 3 years but she only has 12,000 miles (she`s 89). I recently...

Usually once a year I take on the challenge of a full detail on my personal motorhome. It is a 2008 (I got it in 2007 so this summer makes it 10 years old but taking good care of it means it doesn`t look that old. First. I started with a Foam Cannon and completely sprayed it down. Then I...

I bought a new Jeep Grand Cherokee in December of 2015 and completely prepped it and applied Optimum Gloss Coat per the manufacturers directions. It looked and lasted great until about a month ago April of 2017. Then I started to notice the water beading was very lazy and it didn`t have the same...

I have been in auto detailing since the early 80s as a hobby detailer. I have seen products come a long way since the days of Rain Dance, TR3 Resin glaze etc. But now with the current batch of coatings it seems as if they are so good, I really don`t care if they get any longer lasting or not...

I have coated 4 cars now with Gloss Coat including 2 of my own and so far I consider this one of if not the greatest product I have ever bought in terms of detailing supplies. But like most of you I am always interested in trying different things. The Gloss Coat is super easy to apply, sheds...

I have been mostly using Opti Seal on glass lately with good results but after being super impressed with the Gloss Coat I put on the paint I decided to spring for some Opti Glass Coating. The glass of my 8 month old Grand Cherokee was in pretty good shape already but I went through the routine...

I started detailing cars in High School as a summer job around 1980.I was instantly hooked on trying different products and since I also worked at a large discount store I was always trying different products ( I borrowed them to wax one car and put the slightly used cans back). Way back then it...

I have noticed that on some spray detailers or rinse less wash products that if I use them on glass I get streaks. if it streaks on glass which I can see by looking through the windows, doesn't that mean that it likely does the same thing on paint? Meaning the paint is not as clean and shiny as...

Though I have never been a fan boy of Groits stuff in general some are pretty good and have served me well. I recently decided to try the one step sealant on my personal Motorhome for several reasons. 1 it offers swirl removal, 2 it is supposed to be long lasting and 3 it is supposed to be easy...

There are so many of those new technology wipe on and walk away sealants on the market today I cant keep up. I have use opti seal on several cars and other than the lazy beeding I have always liked it. But this week I took a tour of all the new stuff on auto geek.net and I had no idea there were...

I have a 33 ounce Klasse High Gloss Sealant with approx 3/4 of it remaining and a 16 ounce size of the HD uno and a large 32 ounce of the HD Poxy. Both of the HD are 3/4 or so full also. I just dont use these and would like to trade for something else. I am open to LSP and AIO products so tell...

Currently I have these LSPs in the closet and am looking to try something new. Im not really unhappy with all just looking for something else. Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant easy to use and long lasting Klasse HGS Not so eacy to use but long lasting Duragloss #105 good all in one Optimum...

First all I am not a pro just a guy that likes to keep my cars nice. I have a 2012 Audi in Ibis White, a 2012 VW Jetta in White Gold, a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 truck in burgundy. The dodge and the audi have leather but they are new so they are nice shape so I don't need any restoration. I use a...

I have been a memeber on here for a while and read all the post about Optimum no rinse but I kept thinking there is no way it could really do all of that. Well I finally bought a bottle of the "new formula" and this morning decided to wash my wifes white BMW 135i convertible. It was pretty...

Everyone has their favorites and I know there are many that are big fans of Optimum products, but I jsut started using them last year. But the more I use them the better I like them. In particular Poli Seal. I used it last year to do my Motorhome mostly because it was easy to use and had some...
