Anyone ever heard of this stuff? I went to the optimum website but theres nothing there about it. Theres a thread over on autopia right now about it. 3 years or more of protection is what they claim.

Anyone here know anything about it?

Very little, but.... It is a product in development that is not yet on the market.
Integrity Detail is a member of Detail City and may chime in with some information.
Since Optimum is not a real hot topic on DC, not many people have heard about it.
 
Seems like it will be some great stuff. Kind of on the pricey side but your suppose to get 3 years out of one coating so it just maybe worth it.
 
I believe I read at one of the other detailing sites it's applied via spray technique. I also had read at one point that to have this applied customers would have to sign a waiver or something to that effect. Again, just passing on what I read at some point. Other than that, I really haven't heard anything about it.
 
It is still waiting on the final developments and patents I believe. Optimum makes the purchaser sign a waiver. The "X" will only be available from Optimum directly. JP, you were right it needs to be applied via a paint gun. It seems from what I've read you do your typical polishing and then spray this stuff on. It creates what you might call an extra coat of clear. I'm keeping an eye on this stuff. It could be a good upsellers for customers. Most of the info is available at the optimum forum.
 
I personally haven't used the coating (not many have from what I've gathered) but if its from Optimum, it won't be a slouch. I don't think this is a gimmic, Dr. G from Optimum is very intelligent and is about creating products for detailers, not products to make a buck. The down side to calling it a coating is the fact of the auto dealers 'coating' or 5 year wax, which has left a sour taste for many of us detailers. From what I've heard, this isn't a typical wax, sealant or 5 year wax, it is truly innovative (no comparison to anything else ... )and I don't think much can be said about it until it hits the market.
 
Pretty ripe thread over at Argutopia about the stuff. I imagine it'll be the hype for a while and then go away like the last fifteen things that have came and gone. But then again, what do I know?
 
yep like i called it on page 5 EPIC.....

Yes it's claimed to be "an additional clearcoat" in some odd way.

If I still had the shop, I'd look into this as I had access to a downdraft booth which would be perfect for application. It would take time taping off areas not to get covered, but who knows.

Also, the cost was a real issue.

Not a "out in the driveway" detailer to work with.

I guess the thread got closed or shut down. I went over to get my daily dose of "I can pee farther than you can" and it wasn't there - or at least I couldn't find it. We needs us some drama over here at the DC. :)
 
Back to the Optimum Coating.
I think I remember reading that it was originally targeted to professionals and preferably those with fixed locations.
There was evidently enough interest that Optimum is trying to make it more user friendly, (Idiot tolerant, can't make things idiot proof).
It probably won't be even close to the original concept when/if it is released.
That's OK, I really don't need any more products anyway. :wall
 
I think most folks have a high regard for Optimum.
I think most folks have disdain for products that guarantee x number of years protection.
