How come this wasn't posted in the Optimum forum? I'm sure the good doctor would give us the low-down. ??

I don't think the doc has even showed up here yet, he was supposed to pick winners from a contest weeks back, Jesse did that.

OPT marketing department seems like its not existent, they drop a huge bomb and theres no one around to explain anything.....weird way to do it.

When AG drops a product, its in an email, newsletter, forum and they have a review up within 24hrs showing how it works, OPT can't even get their video on the site to play right....

As I said on AGO, I don't think they were planning to drop a huge bomb, information provided to the pro applicator network was made public which caused an inadvertent release of this info, etc. I think they were waiting for the distributors to sell down their OC 2.0 inventory before they released Gloss-Coat.

That being said, isn't OPT's marketing dept. always non-existent? They don't hype anything, opposed to the the norm in this industry. The only other player that is as low-key as Optimum is Duragloss. I think it's no coincidence that both of the companies are owned by chemists and both of them make products that are considered to just work, not much flash but plenty of substance.

I'm with you on all of that, however just IMO. Give everyone something, and by that I mean a working video on your own website at the least. I enjoy the low key aspect both DG and OPT go about their business, they let the products speak for themselves. But when something as big as opti coat is replaced, at least think of a way to let the public know what's up, pics or something at the least. . :)
 
There has been too much confusion due to the similarity of the names between Opti-Coat Pro and 2.0. Some have also taken advantage of this to misrepresent Opti-Coat 2.0 for Pro. Gloss-Coat should remove all these issues. Gloss-Coat is an all new coating that is super-glossy and as easy to apply as Opti-Seal.

thanks chris. will optimum still continue to make OC 2.0 ?
 
Opti Coat 2.0 is discontinued as of Monday. The only product to carry the Opti Coat Brand is Professional only. But, that is not intended to take ANYTHING away from Gloss-Coat. You guys will love the combination of gloss and durability with stupid easy application.

Gloss Coat is extremely slick and Glossy. And as easy to apply at Opti seal. Being the new consumer version replacing 2.0 Opt Listened to the public. Now you can top it with anything and it will stick to it. This was not true with 2.0. The durability is down from 2.0 but the slickness we all love is there and OH MY GLOSS! Also being able to top it is nice! I think if you try this product you will be blown away. They were testing it for over 2 years and tweaking it to perfection.
 
I'm still trying to figure out if the durability hit really means anything. I'm still worried about wheels...OC 2.0 works so well I'm afraid to try anything else.

EDIT: I mean if the durability hit means anything for the average forum member...who is going to be doing stuff to the car all the time and probably is going to do some sort of maint. polish by 2 years time.
 
Well I ordered some, and will now coat my car, my own personal ride entirely for the first time. I'll try and give a review if anyone would be interested....

Yes please. Debating whether or not to get this or gtechniq c1 for my car. I'm interested in this bc I can still top it with a wax if I want and I'm hoping it helps making keeping the car clean easier.
