    Review: Optimum Eraser

    You can see the contamination on both versions so you'll know when to clean it. We coated both sides so you could just switch on the fly.

    Opti-Coat

    Toppers will stick, just don't expect their normal life cycle. If you want to add that nice carnauba glow...just use something economical and quick to apply like Optimum Car Wax or Optimum Instant Detailer.

    How do you even respond to this sales pitch?

    I suppose its because we fully understand the products capabilities, but cannot predict the enthusiast's level of expectation or skill regarding maintenance. When describing any product we present it in the "best case" or "what you CAN/COULD achieve based on our testing as professionals. Our...

    Opti-Coat Prep for my Mom (need polish input, etc.)

    98% of car finishes will not need Optimum Finish after Polish II. Your test spot(s) will tell the tale for your polishes and your pad choices. There is a huge time saving advantage with using our polishes. After dry removal of the visible residue, you only need to wipe the paint with a water...

    How do you even respond to this sales pitch?

    I feel that wax is an appearance product with some protective benefits, but Opti Coat adds real protection from things like bird droppings, acid rain, and strong chemicals. For example: Optimum Car Wax prevents fading with patented UV technology...but does very little against acid etching. You...

    Having problems with Optimum products

    Be sure to use two towels to dry with No Rinse Wash & Shine and with No Rinse Wash & Wax. Use one to remove the majority of the water and the second to buff away what remains to a high shine. Similarly, when waxing spread the product over a panel with one towel then buff that panel with a...

    Optimum NRWW VS. Pinnacle Liquid Gloss Rinsless w/ NUBA

    Thank you for sharing your review! I wanted to add (for the protection conscious) that Optimum NRWW also has our patented UV protection additives. So, not only are you saving time and steps...but adding REAL protection against UV fading and damage as well.

    what DA backing plates with OPT MF pads?

    On the 3401, I use the factory flex plates and the LC kit with no problems except the heat build up in the center. I think a screw cover that kept the center at the same height as the rest of the pad would help. I like the Optimum plates best for sure on traditional and rotary though...I don't...

    VIDEO: Opti Coat Application

    Opti Coat will work on any hard surface that is prepped properly. Pencil hardness is a means of testing the scratch resistance of surface coatings with increasingly harder pencils...9H usually being the hardest. Sometimes pencil hardness is confused with MOHs scale OS mineral hardness. This is...

    Opti-Lens Prep Polishing Questions

    If the car is new and there are no defects to remove, you can use the white pad with a mild finishing polish. You're just making sure the surface is clean and free of contaminants.

    Optimum Protectant VS Opti Bond Tire Gel

    Both products can be used safely on all surfaces listed on the respective labels. They are not the same product, but do produce similar results. The goal of our line is to restore surfaces to a "new" look and not a "dressed" look. OPP uses the same UV protection and conditioners that OEM use in...

    Carpro Dlux OVER Opti-Guard

    From my experience: Opti Coat will effectively coat and prevent fading on plastics with the characteristics of the diffuser. When the OP washed with Power Clean follower by Eraser and still got beading we can know that Opti Coat is still there. I have coated door handles, grilles, diffusers...

    VIDEO: Opti Coat Application

    Yes, just be sure to clean them well to promote bonding. There are many colors and situations where it is hard to see the product's placement and the flashing. The best method is to have good, movable light and possibly a headlight as well...and to keep moving and looking from various angles...
