Ron@Optimum Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 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!

Jayk82 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Saw Dr. G talk about this briefly during The Rag Company TRCMA with Levi. Can't wait to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIS76@ Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Ron, will this be similar to Hyper-Seal? Or is this a different product all together? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Opti-Seal is more similar to Hyper Seal with the new formula, but not as durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayk82 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Is the new formula shipping already from Optimimum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Optimum never releases a new formula until we've sold out of the old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryeguy Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I know you mentioned the durability advantage, but does hyperseal still have an edge over optiseal in terms of gloss, slickness, and/or hydrophobicity? KIS76@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMarkham40 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 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.

KIS76@ Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I have the same questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 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.

Ron@Optimum Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 According to Dr G, Hyper Seal is harder, has greater chemical resistance, and is more durable than new formula Opti-Seal. KIS76@ and AMarkham40 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen.details Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
