David from Optimum shot me a sample of this stuff the other day and I gave it a try over the weekend. I haven't seen the stuff discussed much around here, so I thought I'd mention my findings.
Keep in mind, this is a brief, quick hit of my experiences and not intended to be a full, comprehensive review.
From the label (paraphrasing) - Optimum Poli-Seal is the most unique and versatile all-in-one product ever introduced!...The micro abrasives in [Poli-Seal] will ensure light paint correction and not just in the hiding of imperfections. It can be used as a light swirl mark remover, a final polish and a true wax and sealant.
Characteristics - It is a liquid that has the look, feel and consistency of hand lotion. It is very smooth and free of chunks. There is no artificial scent. It smells like a polish. It's not an unpleasant smell.
Experience - The test subject was a white Pontiac Grand Prix. I was at a Mod Day and I had brought along my arsenal to give a detailing demonstration. A member with a white car wanted me to do his hood to see what difference I could make. It had light swirls (hell, the hood is white) and had some staining. It probably needed a claying, but I left that at home.
I hit the hood with the Opti-Seal with my PC and a white LC polishing pad. I worked it at speed six for a couple minutes. The Opti-Seal did clean the stains off the paint and removed/reduced most of the light swirls. It was easy enough to buff off and I didn't notice any streaking. The surface was pretty slick when I was done. The owner was pretty impressed and were the observers.
Conclusion - I still need to test the stuff further, but I think it will make a very good one-step product. It has decent paint correction abilities and leaves a slick surface behind. I can't vouch for beading or protection as it wasn't raining and the car is on the other side of the city. I'll see it next month, so I'll be able to check up on it then. If I can find the time, I'll probably test it out on our black Envoy. The vehicle does need a full detail as it's been several months since it's seen one.
As I said before, this is meant only as a quick hit of a review. I tried the stuff and wanted to mention it around here. I don't post much in regrads to reviews, but I thought some of you might be interested.
I don't know wher you can find the stuff. I don't even know if it's even being produced yet. I imagine Autogeek has it or will have it shortly.
