The Triple Threat



This week I want to enlighten everyone on a process of products that you may or may not already have on your shelf! We have named it.....THE TRIPLE THREAT! (dun dun dun)



THE TRIPLE THREAT

  • ONR/WW
  • Opti-Seal 
  • Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer
These three combined will take your vehicle places its never been before. They will give you that Optimum cleanliness, protection, and gloss that your after. And get this....it is only a two step process!!!!! 

  1. Wash with ONR/WW, then spray Opti-Seal on  the vehicle while ONR is wet and then dry with your clean MF. This is washing and sealing at the same time. Wait 30 minutes before completing next step.
  2. Apply Instant Detailer by simply spraying a small amount on the vehicle and wiping with your MF. 
                    -Since I have not written anything about ID in the past, I will give you a little info on it. Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer is a quick spray detailer and light waterless wash. It can be used on wet surfaces, paint, metal, glass, and plastics. It's packed with flouropolymers that are extremely slippery. These polymers cause ID to produce a wet-glossy look and will add unbelievable protection. 





 THE SYNERGY IS BEAUTIFUL!

Mineral Deposit Remover

MDR



Lets talk mineral deposits. Your probably wondering what they are, and why are they so pesky to remove?? Well, they are mainly consisted of calcium and magnesium and make up what is called "hard water", which creates those annoying, ugly water spots. These minerals harden on your vehicle and are a hassle to get off.  So do not park next to a water sprinkler or wash you car with hard water or this is what you will get: (or do....and just buy some more MDR) 


Thankfully, Dr. G has acknowledged this issue and created MDR for your convenience! As all OPT products, it is extremely easy to use and very effective. It is a non-abrasive chemical cleaner that will dissolve and remove water based contaminants without the need to polish or abrade the surface. It makes the surfaces smooth again without affecting or removing the paint! 

Can Be Used On 

Paint 
Glass
Trim
Chrome
Wheels
Toilets
Boats 
Faucets/Sinks
Showers/Baths


Stop struggling to remove water spots and go ahead and buy a bottle of MDR. It eliminates the need to use abrasive polishes for the removal of light water spots. Adding it to your collection will only boost your appeal to clients and will really impress them with the results that you provide, like this:

  3. Allow to dwell.

  5. Check and see if vehicle is clean and free of mineral deposits.

New Product Release

After much anticipation OPT has released 3 NEW PRODUCTS!!!!! 


In this blog particularly, I cannot stress enough the beauty of synergy within our products. Together these products (and all OPT products, for that matter) collaborate and excel each other to enhance the over all performance and appearance.

1. OPTIMUM HYPER COMPOUND


  •  OHP (Optimum Hyper Compound) is the ultimate compound for fast paint correction with few compounding swirls and LOW DUSTING. The real benefit of this product is how fast it works and like all other OPT products, how much easier it makes your job. 
  • The super-micro abrasives cut quickly to remove 1200 grit sanding scratches, acid rain, and severe swirls and holograms.
  • Provides an easy to refine surface.
  • Used with the Foam Core Wool Pad or the Orange Waffle pad, Hyper provides both cut and gloss, without dust or hazing.

Before and After

just ONE PASS! 

-Shout out to Joel, good work!-





2.  HYPER WOOL FOAM PAD


  • New formula short napped wool face, with a soft foam interface to follow surface contours. 
  • This cutting pad in combination with Optimum Hyper Compound, Intense Polish, or Hyper Polish can be used for a variety of correction challenges. 
  • Combined with OHP it will quickly remove 1500G sanding marks and provide a surface that requires final polishing prior to coating or wax application. 
  • The wool surface provides unequaled cut while the foam backing keeps the pad cool for longer passes and greater efficiency. 
  • Generates an advantage for you in longer working life of the pad and less working time for you. 


3.  INTENSIVE POLISH 


  • Cutting polish that provides a gloss finish with moderately aggressive cutting abilities! 
  • The first and only one-step spray polish (patent pending) in the marketplace. 
  • Designed to remove 1200 grit and finer scratches in one or two passes while creating a great finish in seconds. 
  • Cuts through wet sanding marks and deep scratches.
  • My favorite thing to say about our products; How does this make your job easier?? Because it is a spray, it provides ease while using and reduces the amount of product (cost efficiency) needed to a fraction. Just one spray is enough to cover the entire pad making the whole pad do the cutting and eliminates dry buffing. 





Simple Steps To Follow 

  1. Wash the vehicle with ONR (Optimum No Rinse)
  2. Decontaminate the paint using an Optimum Clay Towel and the ONR on the surface from the wash as the lubricant.
  3. Determine the level of correction required an start with your first correction step over the ONR dampened surface, no need to dry or tape off the vehicle. 
  4. Dampen your chosen pad with ONR wash (preferably in a pad washer) and simply spray 1 shot of Hyper Compound on the pad, no need to prime or use a large amount of product. Less is best.
  5. Move your Zentool slowly over the surface with a tool speed only as high as needed to allow the backing plate to turn. Excessive speed is counterproductive as it creates heat. Do not add pressure, the weight of the tool is sufficient. 
  6. Clean pad of excess product and paint residue after every section and keep clean and damp.
  7. Once the correction step is complete, start polishing. No need to wipe off minimal Hyper Compound residue. 
  8. Test a spot to determine whether you need Hyper Intensive Polish or Hyper Polish (Hyper Intensive Polish is more intense) to refine the surface. 
  9. Polishing step should require minimal time and passes, as any correction should be taken care of in the first steps. 



NOTE: You do not have to use the Polish after the Compound if you have already achieved your desired results. They do compliment each other, but each also works very well without the other.
