Opti-Bond OR Tire Shine

On this blogging Monday I want to bring up a debate I have seen many times by our followers. The big debate is OPTI-BOND OR TIRE SHINE?? These products are similar in some ways but deliver very different results. Which look you choose is your personal preference, but we offer both!


 They are both designed to make dressing tires the new easiest part of detailing


  • Both are water based, eco-friendly, made in USA, don't sling, UV and Ozone protectants, and neither contain VOC's (which are known to crack vinyl and rubber) or any other hazardous compound. 
  • Use both on tires, wheel wells, interior and exterior trim, any vinyl and dashboards. 
  • Neither will alter the color of the tire with repeated applications
  • Both are excellent tire protectants
--This week we Opti-Bonded a '07 Honda Pilot. This particular vehicle had a good amount of sun damaged trim and vinyl and Opti-Bond brought it back to life and will further protect it from the sun. There was slight clouding and Opti-Bond corrected most of it with just a swipe of our sponge. Incredibly easy for incredible results.--









 << Before and After >>











But, lets get down to the nitty gritty of these Optimum products (see what I did there). 

OPTI-BOND
  • Thick, glue like substance
  • Lasts longer ( up to 3 weeks) than Tire Shine, because OB BONDS to the tire. (Who would have thought?) 
  • GLOSSY MATTE FINISH, NEVER GREASY LOOKING
  • Diluted 1:1, it can be applied by a spray gun, which disperses the product as a fine mist. This method is preferred by  most professionals because it is super cost effective. Just make sure to let it sit a few minutes, then follow with a foam applicator. 
  • Does not attract dust or dirt. 
  • keeps its good looks as long as it stays dry. If it rains it will start to come off and leave a nice matte professional black color behind because it does bond to the tire. This makes the next application easier and quicker to apply!
TIRE SHINE
  • Moderately thick spray 
  • Shorter life span (up to 2 weeks) 
  • SATIN FINISH for drivers that prefer a deep, wet looking gloss. 
  • Keeps your tires in "like new" condition and gives you that freshly dressed look all the time.
  • Spray on then go about other tasks while letting it work for about 15 or 20 minutes (depending on weather conditions). Then come back and smooth it out with your tire sponge.



--Shout out to Big D's Mobile Detailing, thanks for the video comparison!!!!


Tips and uses for both products!

Tip 1:: For Opti-Bond, if you are applying to trim areas and get any on the windows, just simply take a microfiber and buff it off.

Tip 2:: Use OB through a sprayer for “off-road” tires with deep sidewall ridges and extra raised lettering.

Tip 3:: Make sure you clean with either ONR or Power Clean before hand to ensure the products perform correctly.

Tip 4:: If you are not using a sprayer, then spray product directly into applicator then wipe on tire.

Tip 5:: It may be easier to apply Optimum Protectant Plus to window trim areas because they are typically thin. This product will deliver the same great results, with just a little less clean up work for you.

Power Clean

Power Clean
WHY  SHOULD YOU CHOOSE POWER CLEAN?? Optimum Power Clean is an all purpose cleaner that safely cleans your vehicle’s dirtiest surfaces. It can go anywhere from leather to the greasiest places under the hood. Remove bugs, brake dust, and oily grime when using Power Clean full strength. Dilute it to clean leather, vinyl, and plastics.

Optimum Power Clean is an environmentally friendly, safe cleaner that will leave your vehicle spotless! It will replace multiple different products on your shelf which will save you time and money. We recommend professionals buy the gallon size (35.99) to help boost your profit margin by reducing the cost of one diluted bottle, to roughly 5$.





“I applied the product diluted at 1:3 then lightly agitated the Power Clean with a leather brush. The product foamed nicely, was very easy to control and wiped clean with no residue. Most importantly, the product safely cleaned in a very, very effective manner. The photo will show you how effective of a cleaner this product really is.” -Monster Shine Review




One of the best compliments Power Clean gets is that the smell is nice and pleasant compared to other degreasers. (It has a citrus smell).


Power Clean is the "best dang tire cleaner I have ever used"-Autogeek Review


TRY POWER CLEAN ON: 
  • Vinyl, spray diluted PC (3:1) on any vinyl in the vehicle. Console, dash, steering wheel, etc.
  • Anything plastic in the vehicle
  • Leather, use diluted 3:1 and wipe away with damp MF (leather or pleather chairs and couches, shoes, wallets) --Dr. G (CEO) once Power Cleaned a filthy WHITE leather couch and got it looking brand new again!
  • Gets blue jean stains off vinyl (3:1) with MF
  • Filthy rims -use 2 bucket method
  • Filthy tires
  • Exhaust tips
  • Gas and brake pedals
  • Drive shaft
  • Greasy engine



Tips For Using Power Clean

  • TIP- Spray ONR on OPC & agitate with brush for extra cleanliness
  • TIP- Clean carpets, rinse thoroughly with agitation
  • TIP- Dilute 2:1 or 3:1, whichever you are comfortable with, to clean vinyl. 
  • TIP- Make sure wheel is completely cooled, spray OPC and wipe quickly, do not let it dry. Use Optimum Metal Polish after for great shine.
  • TIP- Safe on Glosscoat, but do not let it dry on surface.

Opti-Seal


On the blog this week we will be analyzing yet another one of our versatile products,
  Opti-Seal. 
Looking for a paint sealant and protector that is extremely easy to apply?? Well then this product is for you! One of the reasons Opti-Seal is incredibly popular is because the application process is so easy. There are 3 steps in the process: "Spray, Wipe, Walk." --say it with us! "Spray, Wipe, Walk!". Good, now those are some instructions that anyone can remember. Seriously, that is all it takes to achieve that slick look you're after. The polymers begin cross-linking as soon as it hits the paint and leaves no residue to buff off. However, this product is not a miracle shine worker.  

It IS a miracle paint protector, though. But, it can also go on glass surfaces! This past week we applied Opti-Seal to our front and back windshields and the results were quite impressive. Driving through a decently bad rain storm (MPH was between 50-70) was a breeze for my new Opti-Sealed windshield. I never had to use my wipers, which was a first for me. Lets face it, it is annoying to find the right speed to set your wipers on and sometimes your car doesn't even offer the "in between" speed your really wanting. Opti-Seal eliminates that issue! 


What Opti-Seal is going to do for your vehicle is amazing. Rain can literally do the washing for you, all while your doing other things you love. That is exactly what Opti-Seal can give you; a little extra time to spend with family or playing a round of golf with your buddies because rain is doing the work for you. If you still wanted to wash your vehicle then it will ensure that your wash time is cut short. Apply OS and see how easy the dirt sheds during washes. 

                                       
                                        
                                              <<Check out that beading!>>

A major compliment this product gets is it is very cost efficient and lasts about 2-3 months. Even on a vehicle that is parked outside, the life of the product remains the same. In our 8oz bottle (24.99) you can Opti-Seal 56 cars! For professional detailers, there is a huge profit margin for you and a great selling point at a small cost. Make Opti-Seal something that you put on every car and watch your first-time client become a repeat customer. 

TIPS FOR OPTI-SEAL

Tip #1:: Wash with ONR Wash and Wax, apply Opti-Seal, then wax OR apply a second coat of Opti-Seal. If you are looking for the quicker option; the two layers of OS is for you.  

Tip #2:: LESS IS MORE! Opti-Seal is meant to be applied THIN. You are using enough product if the sponge is gliding nicely over the vehicle, when it starts to drag and have resistance, then respray. If you see streaking of any kind you are applying it too heavily. If this occurs, just wipe excess off with a clean microfiber.

Tip #3:: Spray your applicator pad with a little product and then apply spray to the vehicle. (Thanks Steve--see video)

Tip #4:: Cure time for Opti-Seal is safely, about one hour in all weather situations.

Tip #5:: Thoroughly wash out the applicator sponge after use. This prevents any dried build up to occur and keeps the sponge in perfect condition for the next application.

Tip #6:: Create a window cleaner with Opti-Seal and ONR mix! 1oz:32oz; Seal:ONR. Shake the bottle before using. This makes the two products even more cost efficient for you.--Thank you Aznew Detailing!

NEW Tip #7:: You can use Opti-Seal as a drying aid. First apply ONR/WW, then before it dries spritz some Opti-Seal on, lastly buff with your dry microfiber. Notice that the water that was beaded before, now is sliding right off the car. Quite an amazing combo and is incredibly time conserving for you because your cleaning, sealing, and drying at the same time!!!

No Rinse Wash and Shine

This is the official Blogspot for Optimum Polymer Technologies headquarters. In this blog we are going to discuss and explore all of the obvious, and not so obvious uses that OPT products are capable of.

The first we want to dive into is one of our best sellers, the No Rinse Wash and Shine or as we call it "ONR" for "Optimum No Rinse". Funny enough the No Rinse Wash requires, wait for it.... NO RINSING. This means that it requires NO WATER, NO H2O, period; (for rinsing). How awesome is that?? Also, all of Dr. G's (CEO) products are eco-friendly. It only takes 1 to two gallons of water to wash your entire vehicle when it would regularly take up to 100 gallons of water. Talk about water conservation--*hint hint* ((if you know anyone in California or anywhere there is under strict water restrictions then share our products with them!)). After you wash your car you can take the waste water in the bucket and use it to water your lawn. ONR has Nitrogen in it, which will actually help your grass grow!




To get a little technical for a second, ONR is a fantastic car wash made of substantive polymers which bond to the paint and protect it during the wash. It has to be mixed 1 oz ONR to 2 gallons of water, but does not require a hose or rinsing after you mix the two.  Just simply wipe on with your microfiber towel and then dry using a clean microfiber towel. The miracle part is due to No Rinse's flexibility- it can be mixed into a clay lube, a quick detailer, glass cleaner, waterless wash, etc. It works safely on all exterior and interior surfaces.



Tip 1:: After washing the exterior use a microfiber (OPT microfiber, of course) to wipe down all interior surfaces- seats, dash, carpet, virtually anything inside the vehicle for added cleanliness and shine!

Tip 2:: Create a prespray/prewash by mixing 2oz ONR with 14oz+ water in a spray bottle. BEFORE washing the vehicle with ONR, spray the mixture on hard to clean, bad areas of the vehicle: Bugs, bird poop, sap, wheels, etc. Prespray anywhere that you think
would need a little extra "elbow grease".
You only need to wait about 2 minutes before totally
washing with ONR for the prespray to start working.
 So, let your spray do the extra work for you because
what you will find is that these hard to scrub, extra
elbow grease areas will now just simply wipe clean
to keep any damaging or etching into the paint that
could otherwise happen with rough scrubbing to remove
such spots!

 ---THAT IS NOT ALL--

This spray is also used as a light detailer. Keep a bottle
in the vehicle and spot clean when your on the go.


A quick list of things to try out your ONR on!

  • Leather
  • Vinyl
  • Fabric
  • Rubber
  • Motorcycles                                           
  • Wood/Tile Floors
  • Counter tops
  • Boats                                                  
  • RVs/trailers 
  • Lawn Mowers
  • Grills
  • ATVs
  • etc,etc,etc
