Re: Optimum X

Might be the only product thats any good. Nothing has impressed me at all so far
The trouble is that he's focusing on polymers, not glass or anything else.
The best polymers have been bought and patented years ago. The step forward is in glass and others

They were using the wrong type of rinse method on that video and aiming the water at the paint (thats not the way you do it)
Even if it did sheet like that then, how long will that last
And is it any more powerful than other sealers

Are you a product development advisor? Should impressing you be a goal of OPT?
What is the rinse method you speak of and why? What do you mean by "glass and others"? What do you mean by powerful (durability)?

It's a pro-only product with a learning curve application. Durability on test panels is beading well at over a year.

I have gotten great results from most of OPT's line, how do I get some samples of this new technology you speak of. I don't want to be left behind!

Re: Optimum X

Glassplexin.

Glare has a new pre polish product out that softens the clear making it all melt together and smooth out the clear when you apply friction to it.

You'll find your answer in the first link if you read it.

In it he states that some of the first test panels are still going strong after 3 years.

Be impressed!
