capebretoner Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Anyone tried the new gloss coat formula yet? Installed the old formula topped with opti seal a couple of weeks ago and so far impressed with the water beading. Will be applying to another vehicle and noticed that some detail websites state that the formula has been updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostVulpine Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Very interesting, looking forward to @Ron@Optimum updating us on the subject . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 have to admit, I'm scratching my head - didn't know there was new formula Gloss-Coat! With all the updated products, including some in the pipeline (hint hint), thought I missed one, but no, there's no new formula for Gloss-Coat...yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capebretoner Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Ok thanks for the update. I just looked at a couple of online detail stores and it stated new formula in the description Thanks for clarifying that Looked yesterday on a few detail distributors. States new formula.

Ron@Optimum Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 don't know what to tell you - I went to all Optimum's major distributors and none are advertising "new formula". Are you sure you're not looking at Optimum Hyper Seal, that's new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capebretoner Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 No. I looked at two online stores here in Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setec Astronomy Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I have found that some of these online detailing stores update their descriptions when a new formula comes out...and then never "un-update" them, so you can be looking years later and see a "new formula!" that was new 3 years ago. Happened to me a few years ago, I might even have started a thread here about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostVulpine Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Not going to lie, this thread got me quite excited, just got a 'new to me' Subaru and was hoping that a new version of Glosscoat had arrived to make my protection decisions a whole lot easier!

bcwang Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hi Ron, Is there a new gloss coat formula now? It seems the opticoat website says new formula but I don’t see any mention of it being updated and I can’t tell what’s different from the description. https://www.opticoat.com/product/optimum-gloss-coat/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIS76@ Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Indeed that looks like a new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 And it is a new version, several weeks ago Optimum introduced a New Formula Gloss-Coat. It has added ceramic polymers providing greater scratch, UV, chemical resistance, along with increased release properties. This is part of Dr Gs "always looking to improve" mantra...and the price I pay for not being at the office in Memphis!

Setec Astronomy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Cool! Not to sound like Eddie Murphy in Best Defense, but what the heck is a ceramic polymer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
