Ron@Optimum 337 Posted March 30 Optimum is announcing the reformulation of Opti-Seal. The new formula has increased ceramic components making it closer to Hyper Seal. New Opti-Seal will have greater gloss, slickness, and durability, plus increased hydrophobic properties. New Formula Opti-Seal is shipping now! 4 Redgrandam, KIS76@, Jayk82 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIS76@ 5 Posted March 31 Ron, will this be similar to Hyper-Seal? Or is this a different product all together? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 337 Posted March 31 Opti-Seal is more similar to Hyper Seal with the new formula, but not as durable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayk82 2 Posted March 31 Is the new formula shipping already from Optimimum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 337 Posted March 31 Optimum never releases a new formula until we've sold out of the old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryeguy 1 Posted April 2 I know you mentioned the durability advantage, but does hyperseal still have an edge over optiseal in terms of gloss, slickness, and/or hydrophobicity? 1 KIS76@ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMarkham40 2 Posted April 3 I'm currently using Hyper Seal as my stand alone protectant. Hyper Seal can be used a drying aid & they claim there is no build up so it can be applied as often as I would like. Would I benefit adding the new formula Opti-Seal into my routine? Price is cheaper so that's a plus. Is it slicker than Hyper Seal? (hyper seal isn't that slick, IMO) It's confusing because the comments above make it seem like a watered down Hyper Seal. 1 KIS76@ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 337 Posted April 4 honestly can't answer these questions from personal experience. Dr G gave me 2 different samples of new formula OS to test and I gave him my observation...but did not test either against Hyper Seal. Last weekend I helped a friend detail his car, using the new Hyper Seal on part and new Opti-Seal on part and frankly could not tell a difference in shine or slickness. IMO both those characteristics are highly subjective. I asked Dr G last week for some kind of comparison between OS and HS and haven't received a response. 1 LostVulpine reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron@Optimum 337 Posted April 5 According to Dr G, Hyper Seal is harder, has greater chemical resistance, and is more durable than new formula Opti-Seal. 2 KIS76@ and AMarkham40 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephen.details 15 Posted April 6 Just placed an order for an 8oz bottle, also my first bottle of Opti-Seal. Along with a gallon of Car Wax and Some Opti-Clean. Really can’t beat spray-wipe-spritz of wax-and dry—my favorite way to wash my own car now. Much easier than dragging a bucket of water across the street and down the stairs my complex parking lot. I’ll be adding some Opti-Seal to my daily, as well as my girlfriend’s as soon as I get it. I’m assuming that you can still use Car wax as a clay lube, and then apply Opti-Seal over top to dry paint forming that crazy synergistic cross link migration thingy where OS migrates beneath car wax? Please advice if this has changed. I love the deep look of Car Wax personally, but the durability of OS is appealing for up selling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
