Product Description

Optimum Gloss-Coat is an advanced polymer system that forms a clear coat like layer of protection to your paint! Formulated by the great Dr. G, Gloss-Coat is similar to the clear coat that already exists on your vehicle. The difference is, this coating forms a shell of protection that is glossier, slicker, and less prone to wash-induced swirl marks and marring. Gloss-Coat adds an amazing level of gloss and depth to the paint that will have rain forming tight little beads and rolling off the surface! Once the surface is protected with Gloss-Coat it will be considerably easier to clean and maintain compared to conventional waxes and sealants. Gloss-Coat is not recommended for application on glass, however it works great on your paint, wheels, plastic trim, bumpers, aluminum and chrome. For application tips take a look at the complete breakdown below. Gloss-Coat is all you need to protect your paint but if you like more shine and protection feel free to top it with your favorite sealant and/or wax! If you are looking for a great protective coating for your car the Optimum Gloss-Coat is a great choice!

Application Directions:
  • Polish the paint to remove any defects before applying the Gloss-Coat
  • Clean surface with 15% IPA solution to remove all polishing oils, waxes, and silicones
  • Prime the Optimum Opti-Dual Pro Applicator by making an X pattern across the pad. Only a few drops will be needed for each subsequent panel
  • Wipe Gloss-Coat onto a single panel at a time in a thin layer using two directions, in a circular or front to back direction
  • Within 5 minutes, inspect the panel with adequate lighting looking for any thick areas that have not flashed away to clear
  • Use foam applicator or paint safe microfiber to even out any areas where you see streaks. This step is key, as any spots not leveled will have to be polished if allowed to cure. Panels will feel a bit tacky and will be self-leveling during cure time, so avoid any unnecessary touching, wiping, or contact to produce the best results
  • Repeat steps 1-6 for each panel where application is desired

NOTE 8/26/14
  • Optimum has discontinued Opti-Coat 2.0 and replaced it with the similar Gloss-Coat. Therefore the product reviews, videos, guides, etc. before this date are referencing the previous version.


Sizing:
  • 10ml = 10cc's.
  • The 10cc syringe is perfect for 1-2 applications on an average size car.
  • If you are looking for multiple applications, the 20cc size is perfect.

Professional Detailer Reviews

I feel Opti-Coat is revolutionary for both consumers and the detailing community. By offering this product to our clients we are, in a sense, offering a renewable clear coat, but with much better properties. I've been using this information to help sell Opti-Coat to my clients for a while, but it is especially important for clients with new cars sporting very thin OEM paint (80-90 microns). Even though this is a permanent coating, I really don't try to sell it as such. Instead, I educate the customer about the product and highlight the benefits, including that future polishing will remove less OEM paint, since the majority of light swirling and marring will be in the coating. I also like to explain that Opti-Coat offers increased UV protection to replenish the small amount potentially removed during polishing.
Product Review: Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0
My first impressions of this product are mostly positive as I feel Optimum has succeeded in improving several characteristics of their consumer based coating. Gloss Coat is very easy to use, looks great, and has a nice slick feeling... Ultimately, Gloss Coat should be another great option for the car owner who is seeking an easy to use paint coating to protect their vehicle from the environment.

Directions

  1. Polish paint with Optimum Hyper Polish to remove any defects.
  2. Remove polish residue and prepare surface for coating using Optimum Paint Prep.
  3. Apply 8-10 drops of Gloss-Coat to the supplied foam applicator pad per panel.
  4. Wipe Gloss-Coat onto one panel at a time in an overlapping circular motion.
  5. Wait for 60 seconds after application to allow the coating to cure. Inspect the panel with adequate lighting to find any high spot or streaks.
  6. Use the foam applicator or an Optimum Edgeless Plush Microfiber Towel to even out any streaks or high spots. This step is very important and must be done within 60-150 seconds after application as any spots not leveled will have to be polished if allowed to fully cure. Panels will feel a bit tacky after 3 minutes from application as the Gloss-Coat cross links and bonds.
  7. Repeat steps 3-6 for each panel where application is desired. Not recommended for glass.

Gloss Coat is my absolute go-to. I use it on my vehicle as well as those belonging to my family, and unless customers have a strong preference for something else, this is what I recommend they buy and bring with them when I work on their car. I love everything about it. Ease of application, protection, durability, and of course, the aesthetic. I'll offer here what I tell my customers. I park outside 24/7/365. I easily get three-years of protection, and could probably go longer if it wasn't for my OCD. If you park in a garage, and especially if you're willing to buy and apply Hyper Seal every quarter, I think you can double that.

I love that I can apply to paint, wheels, and trim, and on average use only 8cc of product. Gloss Coat is an outstanding coating, and is super simple to use. I recommend it without hesitation.

I have experience with professional grade coatings applied with a block/suede. Yes, they seem to work well when they come in for maintenance washes / topper applications.

But they're not worth the trouble in my business. My clients report back excellent product performance, and two of them are at the three year point with Optimum Gloss Coat. No fumes, no wasted microfiber towels, no insane difficult application or wipe off, just easy on, easy off, great gloss and long dependable protection.

Recently I looked into a very popular consumer coating, and read that it can be finicky in application, risks of high spots, and it required a topper. Conversely I also real that Gloss Coat doesn't need the topper, and already contains SiC, and Sio2 in the formula. Gloss Coat flexes with the heat/cooling of the paint, where the other more rigid coatings might fracture. So the decision was made to cancel the other coatings and stick with Optimum Gloss Coat. Besides, they were both rated as two year coatings.. The former seemed a LOT more work compared to Gloss Coat for the same longevity.

Optimum Gloss Coat will be the only ceramic coating I will offer, until I can start using their professional grade offerings. Anything else is just not worth the trouble.

Because I have clients picking up their cars the same day, or a day after, I apply a coat of Opti-Seal one hour after Gloss Coat application to protect the coating from water as it cures for seven days, sort of insurance against mother nature, and over zealous customers wanting to wash their car.

Optimum gloss coat was extremely easy to apply it leaves a great protection with a high level of gloss, the preperation was the most tedious part of the process but as far as the gloss coat that was a breeze.
