Optimum Poli-SealTM is the most unique and versatile all-in-one product ever introduced! This easy to use, zero dusting, buttery smooth formula is so much more than a typical one step product. The micro abrasives in the Optimum Poli-SealTM will ensure light paint correction and not just the hiding of imperfections. It can be used as a light swirl mark remover, a final polish, and a true wax and sealant……All in one step! This revolutionary product will eliminate (not hide) minor paint imperfections and blemishes while creating a perfect shine on all types of paint. The bonus is the protection will last for months! It can be used by hand, or with any type of buffer.

Available in 1 Gal containers mid October, and 17oz containers mid November.
Pre-order sales for 1Gal now available.

As wilth all Optimum car care products, I expect this unique product to be quite successful. This is Optimums response for consumers, looking for a resilient product similiar to Klasse AIO.

 

Pat i heard they were working on this! i cant wait to try it. does it work exactly like AIO? Hows it with staining on the trim and rubber? This sounds perfect for a quarterly touch up topped with OCW or AW

I'm reading the reviews about the new OHC now too, i wish i could send back my old OHC to Opt Tech for an exchange

 

Im real excited to be carrying it as well as using it real soon. Im not sure it will be trim friendly though, I should have asked that the other day while talking with David at Optimum. Great company to do business with, even more of a pleasure knowing your supporting a company that uses a lot of R&D before releasing it to the consumers. All the Optimum products speak for themselves.
Dont toss the OHC! It will be downsized as a compound, and if your using the entire line, you'll need middle ground which the current OHC will provide once the new OHC is released.

 

Patrick, when you do get a chance to use it, would you kindly give us your take on it? Personally, I know I am gonna end up gettin it anyway. Any chance of getting a sample from Optimum?

 

Ive already got a sample......I should have used it today!!


It would have been a good beta test on one of those....!
When I get it, i will more then likely offer some samples for a very limited promo......

 

I cant believe I choked on that...........Its sitting there with the new HC also........and why cant I edit anymore??? I dont even have the 5 minute option.........
Mods? help me out here....

 

Patrick, I'm starting to salivate ..... no words for your work. Just let the photos do the talking!

 

the perks of being a distributor huh - samples!

Pat - i know its going to take some times but the protection of the opt's aio starts to break can you comment on the durability? The car i'm going to do next is a 98 civic thats only been washed twice with heavy swirling and some light scratches - i'm not going to toss my bottle of OHC but this new stuff sounds like it might cut close to the TOL HT-EC, which i was considering ordering just for disasters like this.

 

New OHC vs. HT EC ? The extreme cut? Ive never used any HT before. I tried to bring it aboard but they apparently have a contract with TOL. Needless to say, I was pissed and am boycotting, lol...............
According to some recent reviews elsewhere, its about par with EC, maybe a tad stronger. I would hate to have to use it with a PC however. I just think that products of this caliber are probably better designed with a Rotary in hand.
Now the EC claims you can use it by hand? I dare someone to try something like that by hand without expecting significant marring......But sometimes we just dont know when to stop.......

 

Exceldetail, would appreciate your professional opinion.

Look at the clearcoat of acuras built within the last couple of years. They aren't like them porches.

How many times do you think we can remove swirl with a PC?

 

Hondas, in general have terrible clear coat protection.
I've seen more issues with Hondas (No issues so far with Acuras, but I think we're comparing apples to apples here, correct me if Im wrong though) then any other car made, seriously. Im not so sure anymore, thats its due solely to neglect. I think its just the nature of the painting process they use.
To answer your question, I wouldnt get into any compounding issues on a yearly basis. But once or twice a year light polishing, with inbetween paint cleaning, should keep you out of the woods.........

 

So this is like a 3 step process all in one? like the simplicity, and it would cut down on steps and time involved in the maintainace process. It would turn out to be cheaper to use this and buying multiple other products. 1000-1400 rpm sounds kinda slow.....or is it just me?

How was your trip to Coranado Exceldetail?

 

No. not in leiu of a 3-step.....Its mearly designed to be a all in one type of product for use on vehicles with light spiderwebbing (Via PC and proper pad). Or, used on vehicles after conditioning has been restored to a satisfactory condition to the end user. Its not a miracle in a bottle by any stretch, just an honest to goodness cleaner/polish/sealant.
Coronado was sweet!!

 

Ok, this statment made me think this was an miracle all in one product

 

Provided the surface is in satisfactory condition.........Just think of Optimum Polish, with a sealant!! Thats probably the best way for me to describe it.............

 

Let me know how easy it is to buff out.

 

The optimum line is very easy to work with and never had any trouble/problems buffing out.

 

The Poli-Seal is a very nice one-step product but as noted it is not a miracle silver bullet product.

It will correct minor marring via rotary and by Cyclo/PC also. During the research and development phase we used it by hand, with orbital and also via rotary. It leaves one of the slickest surfaces I have ever felt when applied by rotary.

We tested it with an orange pad, green pads, polishing pads and finishing pads and we were very impressed with the results, especially with the orange pad...very limited swirling but did some nice correction also.

On silver paint it would be all you need as long as the marring is not bad.

The abrasives in Poli-Seal are along the lines of FPII and the finish or the look is reflective, more like a polymer than a carnauba.

It will stain trim if left on so wipe any excess of as soon as possible. Durability seems to be around 2 to 3 months and while we made this with the consumer in mind to be applied by hand it has found favor among pros for "one-step" paint correction and sealing.

The next item from Optimum will be a paint sealant. I have been testing and testing this baby for over a year now but we just don't have it perfected just yet! When it's done and ready it will be worth the wait

Anthony, thanks for the additional info. Looks like another product for my shelf. Please keep us informed about the sealant.
