Opticoat 2.0 discontinued, OptiCoat Pro sees price increase

[Alek@DeepClean]

So I've recently gotten word that OC2.0 is being replaced by a 2 year product called OptiGloss, and that the only remaining version of OptiCoat will be the Pro version. The pro version is now $150 per 10ml (enough for one vehicle) and will no longer carry a lifetime warranty but a 5 year warranty. Thoughts on what this means for Opticoat, or Optimum as a whole? What about the coating market? Will products such as CQuartz or Ceramic Pro see more exposure now?

Where did you hear this from?

Well, Optimum Gloss-Coat is now on Optimum's website.

That would be really bad news, but not inconsistent with the other steps taken to differentiate the market for the pro installers of Opti-Coat.

Interesting..

That was the big news all over today, lots of people are upset. It was also confirmed by a rep

Well, Optimum Gloss-Coat is now on Optimum's website.

How funny, I was just there earlier today, and they didn't have that up. They do make it sound like it's a superior product to Opti-Coat 2.0, although the price point is lower, which is a little weird. Well, they say it's the best consumer coating, so I guess it could still be that it's that but less durable than Opti-Coat 2.0.

EDIT: Yikes, the price point isn't lower, the syringe is 10cc's rather than 20, so it's actually quite a bit more expensive than 2.0

A video is attached on the optimum website but its not working for me.. is it working for anyone else?
