hokiedood Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Why are there no comparable coatings that uses SiC? All other ceramic coatings from competitors use SiO2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 That's an excellent question and I don't have an answer. According to Dr G, it's really difficult to reverse engineer products and it maybe that no one has figured out the exact chemistry of Opti-Coat Pro. It's taken years for anyone to come close to Opti-Seal... Heijneker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, you know I love Optimum...but Opti-Seal wasn't even the first WOWA sealant to market, Zaino beat Optimum by some months back in 2007. I still remember Anthony Orosco beside himself that someone had come out with a similar product seemingly in parallel (since, per Anthony's telling, he put the idea for a sealant that you just "wipe on, and walk away" into Dr. G's ear, and had of course been the Alpha tester during the development). There were 3 WOWA sealants that came out in 2007, and a few more since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 sorry, Setec, I've been involved with Optimum since 2004, but for the first few years as a marketing consultant, so I don't know the product history. I was using Turtlewax or Eagle 1 before being "saved". Opti-Seal was magic to me, as was ONR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
