Ron@Optimum Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The first "new" Optimum product announced at SEMA is Gel Coat Restorer, already introduced here several weeks ago. GCR is available now at various online sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&J Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I just bought a full bottle of Opti-bond so I'm not sure if I want the Tyre coating ? The Clay mitt and Paint restorer sure looks interesting. I would love to see it in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yeah, Ron was pretty cagey in that Gelcoat Restorer thread when I asked if you could use it on clearcoat.... That product, however needs a little more explaining, if it's not for failed clearcoat...sounds like it's more for scratches and chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Gelcoat Restore is NOT for clear coat, but only bad gelcoat. It doesn't work well on good gelcoat. And the Clear Coat Restorer is not for failed/failing clear coat. There is going to be a learning curve for both products as they are both unique and new technologies.

I know Dr G is looking at clear coat replacement/repair products. And 3 weeks later, here we are with clearcoat restorer....pretty cagey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 What is the difference between a coating and Clear Coat Restorer? Longevity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&J Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 46 minutes ago, No Soap said: What is the difference between a coating and Clear Coat Restorer? Longevity? I kinda got the feeling that clear coat restorer is a kinda paint filler (it can mimic clear coat) that can fill light to deep scratches but can not restore fading clear coat. This is just my guess...Im not trying to be to smart here. Other OPT representatives will have to fully explain and showcase these products so we can get a clearer picture about them. But I must say...they all are very interesting. P.S. Kudos to OPT for creating a paint safe and somewhat health safe tar remover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yeah, it will be nice to learn if they made the Zentool less needed now. ? The tar remover sounds impressive indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I'd take credit for being "cagey", but the truth is I'm careful announcing new products because actual availability is not assured. Dr G working on new products is a given, said products actually reaching the market is not. For instance GCR is available now, but TAR, Clear Coat Restorer, and Tire Protection & Coating are not.
