Optimum Poli-Seal

The ultimate one step product – it cleans, polishes, corrects, and protects!- visit our site to take a look!

Optimum has developed a new and revolutionary “one step” product which will enable detailers to clean, polish, perform light correction, and seal the paint ALL IN ONE STEP!

Optimum Poli-Seal is another excellent product from Optimum Polymer Technologies. Don’t mistake it for a cleaner wax. Poli-Seal cleans, polishes, corrects and seals paint under a smooth, glossy polymer shield. Poli-Seal does what other one-step products promise. In one easy application, you get the benefits of a fine swirl remover, a finishing polish and a high quality polymer wax.

This product falls in just below the level of aggression of the Optimum Polish and can be used either after the Optimum Polish or even after a light compounding step with the Optimum Compound. For detailers who prefer a wax product that can be buffed on, or applied by hand, we now have what we think is one of the BEST sealers out there, and to be able to remove light scratches and swirl marks is truly an added bonus!

Optimum Poli-SealTM is the most unique and versatile all-in-one product ever introduced! This easy to use, zero dusting, buttery smooth formula is so much more than a typical one step product. The micro abrasives in the Optimum Poli-SealTM will ensure light paint correction and not just the hiding of imperfections. Poli-Seal can be used as a light swirl mark remover, a final polish, and a true wax and sealant……All in one step!

This revolutionary product will eliminate (not hide) minor paint imperfections and blemishes while creating a perfect shine on all types of paint. The bonus is the protection will last for months! It can be used by hand, or with any type of buffer. This is not a miracle product, but simply a detailer friendly, easy to use, paint correction and sealant all in one. You will be able to literally fly through your final step with the Optimum Poli-SealTM.

We tested Optimum Poli-Seal on a silver 2003 Mazda 6. The paint is in good condition but has never been polished, though it is waxed every 3-4 months with a synthetic wax. The vehicle was washed and towel-dried before using Optimum Poli-Seal. The car looked clean and had no apparent dirt or oxidation. It had a few light but noticeable swirls on the hood and fenders.

I used a white Spot Buffs 4 inch pad on the Pinnacle Polishin’ Pal to take advantage of the pad’s polishing ability. Poli-Seal has the texture of a hand lotion with no visible abrasives and it’s very easy to apply.

Evidently the paint actually was very dirty (you should see my buffing towel!) and Poli-Seal started cleaning it literally on contact. I’ve used cleaner waxes and I’ve never seen a product work as quickly or as noticeably as Optimum Poli-Seal. This is much more than a cleaner wax.

After Poli-Seal hazed over, I buffed the paint using a Cobra Microfiber Towel, flipping it often. Unbelievable. The towel was filthy with dirt and oxidation that was not even apparent before I applied Poli-Seal. The haze buffed easily and in no time, the car was completely polished and sealed.

Optimum Poli-Seal cleaned the paint very well and therefore it looked crisper and clearer, but the nice surprise was how smooth the paint was. Poli-Seal eliminated the light swirls on the hood and fenders. The paint had a nice slickness and gloss, which is tough to achieve on silver paint. These results were achieved by hand application; machine application will enhance the polishing abilities of Poli-Seal.

For machine application, spread a thin layer of Optimum Poli-Seal over the paint using a polishing pad on your Porter Cable 7424. Mist the pad with XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner before using it, as Optimum recommends using a damp applicator. Buff using a Cobra microfiber bonnet over a lambswool pad. Keep an eye on the condition of the bonnet. When it becomes soiled, flip it inside out and continue buffing.

Optimum Poli-Seal is currently available in a gallon. This is perfect for detailers. For enthusiasts, you’ll enjoy this product enough to justify having a gallon of it.

In the final analysis, Optimum Poli-Seal is easy to use, cleans very well, and leaves a great, slick shine – even on light colored vehicles. Poli-Seal is an excellent one-step product for detailers or for anyone that likes quick, impressive results.

Also if you guys search on Autopia there were a few guys who have been using it to test for a couple months, think ScottWax was one. You can see what they said about the product. It's like an AIO on steroids and can still be used as a finishing polish.

From what I've read this product sounds like a winner. I might have to include some in my next order. Wow, my "next order" list really seems to be growing by the day.

FloridaNative · 10-31-2006, 10:12 AM

Wow!!! So this stuff works as a paint cleaner as well! Cool! How sun friendly is it? Does it have to be applied in the shade? How long will it last? Can it rival SG??

Any word on when smaller sizes will come out? I can't see myself going through 128 ounces of this product.

Probably not going to, this is more for the detailer. As of now Optimum is not looking to put it in a smaller bottle.

Meghan .... send me some to test, and I will sneak some to several friends.

Light-Zone · 10-31-2006, 11:33 PM

Anybody up for sharing? 1 gal of this at the price listed is a great deal, but only if you have use for that much, otherwise it would be a shame to waste the product. I'd be into divinding it by say....4?

I will wait for Justin review!

I wonder if I take my Optimum compound and XMT1 and mix together I would have the same thing?

sparkie · 11-01-2006, 04:23 AM

Dose anybody know what's the cutting power of this product? Can it be used with an high speed buffer? Can you work it in like other polishes? Can you top it with wax or sealants?
