Which dressing are you referring to, the interior dressing or the tire dressing?
Haven`t tried the interior dressing but have tried the tire dressing. I was disappointed with it, compared to PB B&B it did not make my tires look near as good. Where the B&B would leave my tires uniformly black the Optimum tire dressing left them blotchy looking.
Seems like a lot of people comment in the negative on the smell of Optimum products. I have the No Rinse, didn`t think it smelled bad at all and does a good job, very happy with it.

The scent goes away very quickly. I have never had a customer complain about the smell since I switched to OPP.
I do hear David is working on adding a nice scent to it though.

Ron and I told David he needs to tweak his Tire Shine so that`s what he will work on in the New Year. It will most likely be a sponge on dressing instead of a sprayable....although this is still yet in the air.
Creating a tire dressing is very difficult, especially a water based dressing which is VOC compliant. We are looking for something that is durable yet gives a nice dark shine to the tire. Not greasy and little to no sling...sling is bad. So the task ahead is not an easy one for David at Optimum.:hairpull
As far as scent goes David avoids adding scent if at all possible because it can have an adverse effect on how the product works. This happened the with the first few scents he tried in the Optimum Polish but then he found one that worked well. So David is a busy dude, he does all his own stuff and it takes him awhile to get stuff working right because he truly wants the products to work in a superior fashion. He and I have been working on my paint sealant now for over a year (more beta samples are being sent to me next week) but it`s still not where he and I want it.....yea and it don`t smell great either! But it`s not a perfume it`s a paint sealant :)
So sometime Jan/Feb 07 there should be a new Optimum sponge tire dressing and *maybe* the sealant.
Merry Christmas,
Anthony

I have one sample coming to me but as we have used the Poli-Seal more and more we are now questioning if a "fine polish" is even needed.
Poli-Seal has now pretty much replaced my use of FPII.
So we`ll see how the sample works.
Merry Christmas,

With the same abrasives it is totally understandable.
Merry Christmas Everybody!

I`d have to agree. After using Poli-Seal regularly, I am not certain I need to order some 106FF now.

It appears the the new sealant will be compatible with Optimum`s new sealant. Will the new sealant also contain some carnuaba or syn-carnuaba wax
("...For detailers who prefer a wax product that can be buffed on, or applied by hand...")? :confused:

As of right now there is no carnauba content in the Optimum sealant.
The Poli-Seal does so we are worried that there is going to be a huge mix up with these two products:nixweiss
So the name for the sealant will not mention anything about a "sealant". I have a name for it already so I hope the tweaks David did make this version the "final":up
