New Detailed Image Products!<\/h2>\n

We just got three new products in from Optimum, the Opti-Glass Coating<\/a>, Opti-Glass Clean & Protect Concentrate<\/a>, and the Opti-Lens Coating<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"photo-1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Opti-Glass Coating<\/a> is designed to chemically bond to glass surfaces, forming a long lasting hydrophobic film. This film will help increase chip, scratch, and mar resistance, while protecting from water staining as well.<\/p>\n

The Opti-Glass Clean & Protect Concentrate<\/a> is designed to clean and protect glass with a simple application. The polymers will allow this product to bond to your glass and protect against contamination. You can use it by itself, or in combination with Opti-Glass Coating<\/a> for maximum protection!<\/p>\n

The Opti-Lens Coating<\/a> is the prefect way to protect against those nasty yellow\/hazy headlights! Once applied this product will cross-link to form a highly protective permanent film on the surface of your headlights. This film will protect against fading, yellowing, hazing, and contamination build up!<\/p>\n

Looking for a quick and easy way to remove old protection from the paint? Look no further then the DI Accessories 70\/30 Isopropyl Alcohol<\/a>! Use it at the 70\/30 ratio, or dilute it to 50\/50<\/a> to safely and effectively break down and remove residue from the surface, preparing it for your next detailing step!<\/p>\n

Last month we picked up the DI Accessories Plastic Razor Blades<\/a>. This month we stepped up the removal power and added the DI Accessories Metal Razor Blades<\/a> to our product line up! Grab one of these durable high carbon steel blades and performing any scraping, trimming, or cutting job will be easier then before!<\/p>\n
