A&J Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Whats the prep work for Clearcoat restorer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Optimum Clear Coat Restorer is a single component, self leveling wipe on clear coat. The simple to use formula is the answer for restoring dam-aged clear coat paint. DIRECTIONS: 1. Clean the surface with Optimum Power Clean to remove any greases or waxes. 2. Decontaminate the surface with an Optimum Clay Towel, Mitt, or Bar. 3. Compound the paint with Optimum Hyper Compound or Optimum Compound II and a wool pad to abrade the surface. Remove the compound residue. 4. Wipe surface with Optimum Paint Prep. Make sure surface is dry. Blow out all cracks to remove moisture and dust. 5. Apply only in a well ventilated area with panel and air temperatures between 60?-85? F (15?-30? C). 6. Wearing protective eyewear, a respirator rated for organic vapors, and nitrile gloves, saturate the edge of the supplied microfiber applicator with Optimum Clear Coat Restorer (CCR). 7. Apply in a back and forth motion, keeping the edge of applicator saturated, and working the wet edge one panel at a time. Apply 1-2 coats back to back leveling with the applicator. 8. Avoid recoating or touching the surface after 5 minutes. 9. Optimum CCR is dry to the touch in 30 minutes and fully cured in 48 hours. 10. Allow 12 hours or more before exposing to water or temperatures below 60? F (15? C). 11. Optimum CCR can be protected with Optimum Car Wax, Opti-Seal, or Gloss-Coat after 48 hours or more of curing.

A&J Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Could this be applied outside considering temperatures are above 15 deg C. Would dust be an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 According to Dann Williams, he has applied outside, but be aware of wind/dust. Again CCR works on damaged clear coat, but not failed/failing clear coat. Don't ask how to tell the difference...over my pay grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 What about new clear coat that is way too often nowadays thin as hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That would seem the logical use - not sure how economical to coat an entire car, but leading edges would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Ron@Optimum said: That would seem the logical use - not sure how economical to coat an entire car, but leading edges would make sense. Since it's common to coat new cars with Opti-Coat or Gloss-Coat (for non-pros)...it would seem if that was a logical use it would be undermining much of what the certified installers currently do/use, wouldn't it? Or is the CCR a pro-only product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Setec, none of the new Optimum products are Pro only, but only GCR is available today. While Optimum Coatings (Pro and Retail) are being applied on boats today, they are not as effective in Marine usages - not as mar proof or durable on gelcoat. Dr G felt he could produce a Marine product with improved performance and formulated GCR. His is a restless mind and he hates to over promise/under perform - ergo a Marine line.

Ron@Optimum Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 According to Yvan - to know when Clear Coat Restorer will be effective, if a damp microfiber makes the paint look good, CCR will work. If it's hazing, flaking or peeling, you need a body shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Soap Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If you go through the clear when compounding, this is then nothing that could save you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That is correct - CCR is a "restorer", not replacer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOF Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Any word whenbthe new products will be available to the public? I bought a new truck and want to give it the Opti-works treatment and would like to apply the new Opti-stuff like the tire gel. Thanks Matt.

SOF Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks Ron, I’ll get the “old stuff” and remove with PC once the “new stuff” is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
