New formulation of Gloss Coat that now has Sio2?

Optimum Gloss-Coat New Formula - Opti-Coat

It has been a hybrid of SiC and SiO2 for quite some time now.

I did find out that Gloss Coat was updated with new resins a few months back.

Hope it’s more durable now. That is gloss coats weak point.

Ain’t that the truth, I used to like the old OptiCoat 2.0 and tried the GlossCoat and on 2 cars I didn’t even get 8 months out of it. Around that time there was a whole bunch of changes going on at Optimum at that time both on the retail and professional sides and I started looking at different brands. Still love me some Hyper Polish and ONR though

Did you prep with Hyper Polish? lol Just curious because that apparently makes a difference per OPT.

Per OPT it has added ceramic polymers providing greater scratch, UV, chemical resistance, along with increased release properties.

Yes, every product I used was Optimum.

Looks like you have interest in the GC, just a heads up that on GC and even the older OptiCoat if you feel resistance while pushing the thumb bar down while wetting your applicator I have had it gush out on me numerous times. I think there was a proper way to get around that somewhere here
