    Optimum's Waffle Wash Sponge

    The blue foam is ridiculously soft so it's ideal for enthusiasts and those with soft paints that mar easily. It's also a great size and a killer price. The BRS is dual sided and will last for years. This would be ideal for professional or volume use.

    Opti Gloss-Coat on raw aluminum

    Aluminum would have to be coated with a very thick, spray application to be effective.

    What is your favorite type of machine polisher?

    They're all useful and as any true tradesman knows, must be mastered. There is no "one size fits all best machine." Rotary for removing sanding marks and fast leveling jobs, but knowing I'll have to clean up the rotary work with da finishing. Large throw DA for large, flat panels. Small throw...

    Dealership Coating Contract

    First, misinformation is not the same as lying. I'm not saying you're lying Rasky. What I mean by misinformation is that since you have had no first hand experience with a warranty claim, you don't know that we handle claims situationally. As the regional manager for eastern US I have mediated...

    Dealership Coating Contract

    We do offer a dealership program in addition to the pro installers program, but it's not what the OP is looking for. He is talking about subcontracting things lot washers can't provide. Our dealership program solicites already productive installers to make a sales commission based on providing...

    ceramic pro

    It will work on properly prepped paint systems regardless of the age. But to back it with an insurance company, the cost of coverage outweighs the expense for such a small percentage of applications that would raise the price for everyone. We simply recommend using Gloss-Coat® for older...

    Gloss-Coat® can be transferred into a finger sprayer for application but won't store over a few days with that much exposure to moisture. So just use all that you pour out. I opt to not transfer if there's any wind because sometimes you'll see droplets that hit the panels if too close. You...

    ceramic pro

    I always see CP agents comparing to Opti-Coat® Pro but am sure it's to associate them with a credible company. Zach is right, they are a "we gotta get a piece of that coating action" marketing hype group. Just look at their tactics from anyone who knows the coating offerings.

    Optimum power clean APC dilution ratios

    Power Clean should not be left to dwell on glass, it needs to be rinsed, and washer fluid needs a high methanol content to not freeze. Stick with the regular stuff.

    Opti-Coat on a motorcycle....

    Optimum sells a pro only warranty kit for bikes that includes Opti-Coat® Pro for the paint and Opti-Guard Leather/Vinyl for seats and saddlebags. There is no product included for chrome or pipes nor a warranty backing those parts...only paint and leather/vinyl. Who was the installer?
