Redgrandam Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 18 minutes ago, Setec Astronomy said: As a follow-up to JoseG's question, will there be an ONRWW v.3 based on the ONR v.5 formula, and if so, when will that be available? Also how will the new formulas be shown at the store, since right now they both say "new formula" from the last revision. And thank you, Ron, for the clarifications, that's great news that the Opti-Trim can be applied over itself. And I have no doubt that TRC will move the Opti-Coat maintenance line. For ONR they showed it in the video. It has a gold ‘version 5’ sticker on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Dr G said several weeks on V5 ONR (but I saw a bottle on Facebook), no info on the clay and Ceramic Seal but they're not listed online yet. I'm guessing ONRWW will follow shortly, but when we're out of the last formula. I believe all new versions going forward will be labeled V?. I'll know when I get my samples. Dr G is out of the country for the next 15 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I don't know of any plans to reformulate Opti-Clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Outback Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Nice group of enhancements at TRG's event. How does ONR version 5 compares with the Opti Coat ONR. Are they now comparable or does Opti Coat ONR have advantages when used on Opti Coat ceramic coatings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 at the end of the interview, Dr G states that Opti-Coat ONR is Optimum's best rinseless wash - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddetailer Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Is ultra ceramic sealant better than hyper seal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoseG Posted April 27, 2023 Author Share Posted April 27, 2023 5 minutes ago, Kiddetailer said: Is ultra ceramic sealant better than hyper seal ? No. According to Dr G it is only half as durable. Car Wax > Opti Seal > Ultra Ceramic Seal > Hyper Seal. (Not actually sure about Opti vs Ultra but judging by the description of UCS - better slickness/gloss over opti while still lasting 6m- Id say it’s a step above. Perhaps Ron can confirm?)

Ron@Optimum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I haven't sampled the Ceramic Seal yet, but from what Dr G says, my guess is among sealants the hierarchy is Hyper Seal, Ceramic Seal, Opti-Seal, Car Wax for durability. Other characteristics are mostly subjective - hydrophobics, chemical resistance, shine, slickness, and hardness. Now that Dr G is back in country I'll get his input.

Ron@Optimum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 this is how Dr G described Ultimate Ceramic Seal to me originally (I didn't post because I didn't want to get ahead of his announcement): The new Ceramic Seal is a water based product that is for consumers in the Optimum line and is in between Opti-Seal and Hype Seal. It has more slickness and gloss than Opti-Seal and lasts about 6 months JoseG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbles Garage Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hi Ron, For the Opti-Trim Protect product, would it be recommended for only "hard" plastic trim or would there be any incremental benefit on rubber trim; for example, exterior window weather-stripping, or even simulated chrome trim?

Ron@Optimum Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 have never heard it used on soft rubber, but will ask Dr G when he's back (not till next week) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 According to Dr G, Opti-Trim would be effective on soft rubber as well. Marbles Garage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
