    I guess I can`t complain, but it does kinda sting. Same reason I answered no to OPT in the thread.

    I tried to give a hint. Also all the people in the other giveaway who mentioned that they would have said `Optimum` will be credited for saying Optimum! We are excited to have this line and worked really hard to get in here. We are sorry it took so long :doh:

    1) I would love to try Opti-seal. The WoWa product is very appealing and easy to use.

    2) I love ONR itself. I have used it since November and it is a time saver and excellent enhancer.

    3) I intend on trying either OQW or OCW soon. Both are appealing and OQW over OS sounds quick, easy, and effective.

    I think one benefit to OPT is their ease of use, and the other benefits are that the products work very well.

    I have never tried any of the Optimum products.... probably because I am relatively new to this wonderful world of detailing.

    I would like to try the Optimum Protectant Plus for the vinyl stickers I have on the side of the car, next the Optimum Finish Polish (correct me if I am wrong) this would seem to be a good third step after M205 and finally the Optimum Car Wash to save my waxing efforts.

    Here`s hoping I win and good luck to the rest of you.

    1. ONR (duh) I`ve been using it since Dec. 08.
    2. OCW The best booster spray wax out there.
    3. Poli-seal & OID (tied for 3rd) Poli-seal is a great one stepper polish/sealant. Using it more than Meguiar`s D151 currently. It works well on ALL types of paints. Instant Detailer is a really good one, the key to it is to NOT use too much!



    Since the Meguiar`s x05 twins and M95, I just don`t use the OPT polishes like I use to. Since I started using BFWD, the opti-seal sits on the shelf too. The last couple of times I used it, it smeared badly.

    My customers like the Leather Protectant product so far, because it`s not greasy and doesn`t have a shiney finish to it.

    Dr. G sent me a sample of the Tire Shine dressing on my last order. I tried it and thought it was good, however, I like getting a satin finish on tires, so I still use Meguiar`s Hyper dressing in a 3:1 or 4:1 mix.


    Optimum towels are REALLY GOOD too!!!!



    Optimum Products I would/will try in the future:

    Power Cleaner: Seems a little too expensive when comparing it to Meguiar`s APC or APC+. It might work better, who knows.

    Metal Polish: Have to use up my current polishes first.

    So far I`ve only tried the No Rinse Wash, but I`m batting 1.000 as I LOVE the stuff.

    The other products I`d like to try would be:

    1. Quick Detailer, I`m basically a QD junkie and if it`s out there, I want to try it.
    2. Tire Gel, same with the QD, I am addicted to the stuff and am always on the search for the best product available.

    That`s it!

    I like ONR because the simplicity and ease of use.

    I haven`t tried anything else but I heard good things about Opti-seal for its relatively decent longevity and ease of application and would like to try Opti-Bond Tire Gel because it seems to have just the right shine.

    Here they are:
    1. ONR - The absolute best detailing product anywhere. There are so many uses for this product, so it really is a great value as well as a GREAT product.
    2. Optimum Car Wash - Very concentrated, so a little goes a long way. The car wash produces great suds, and great lubricity, so the dirt slides of your car. Also, it will not strip off the wax.
    3. Optimum Finish Polish - This polish has a very long work time, does not dust and leaves an unbelievable gloss to your finish.

    I have also used Opti-Seal and like it very much. It couldn`t be easier to use. I would also love to try Opti-Bond Tire Gel, and Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer.

    Pleeeeeese pick me

    It`s tough to single out what I like best about Optimum products... one big bonus is the availability of small, cost-effictive sizes for trial purposes! I`ve been wishing for this from all vendors and manufacturers for a long time.

    Opti Seal`s ease of use and brilliant shine are at the top of my list. It`s versatile too. I used it on my glass shower doors and kept right on going to the tile and grout. It looks superb on my chrome toaster too! :cornut:

    I had read a report somewhereorother on using a dab or two of OPII with M105 to extend working time and lessen dusting. I`m happy to report this also worked well for me with the original M105.

    ONR is not only a great rinseless wash, clay lube and QD, I also use it at clay lube strength as a spray & wipe type product.

    Like to try:

    I see great reports on both of the OCWs... Optimum Car Wash and Optimum Car Wax. The wax is reported to be more than just a spray-wax topper but has the longevity to go the distance as a primary LSP.

    I also see glowing reports on Optimum Power Clean. Wouldn`t mind giving that a run around the block as well.

    Major kudos to PAC/CMA for adding the OPT line. :w00t: Not only are they great products the support is superior as well... Dr. G. answers e-mail inquiries personally and promptly! :clap:

    Cool

    Having never tried any of the stuff (OPT products), I was going to get some ONR this spring based off of all the rave reviews.

    So.....my list would be:

    ONR
    Poli-Seal
    Metal polish

    Good to see PAC picking up new product lines!

    1. ONR, my first OPT product I have ever used, and I am amazed by the fact I can clean my car 9PM at night in my garage. I like the smell of ONR also.

    2. Opti-Bond Tire Gel, I want to try this product because from other`s write ups it makes the tires look great, doesn`t sling, non messy, and easy to use.

    3. Optimum Instant Detailer, I live in a desert, it gets quite dusty here regardless of the time of year, have this instant detailer with me when I`m out I can be prepared to clean up the dust quickly restoring my car`s shine, and battle bird bombs.

    ONR - My favorite Optimum product. ONR is all I have been using the last couple of year. I rarely do any conventional washes anymore. It is so easy to use and it is so flexible (wash, clay lube and quick detailer). Love it!

    OCW - I use it quite a bit. It makes the paint very slick and it looks really good on my platinum gray car. Very easy to use. I think it is easier to use than OID.

    OID - Very slick finish that looks good. However, it is more difficult to use than a regular quick detailer, say Meg`s Last Touch. I have the concentrate version and have diluted it as per the instructions on the bottle.
