Re: PRODUCT REVIEW: Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating/Perfekt finish paint prep
Thanks for the review SmokinSS.
I have a question that might offend some, but I'm going to ask it anyway...
Is this just repackaged optimum gloss coat?
The tube seems oddly similar. So is the needle and stopper right down to the color. The color of the product is the same. The picture of it flashing is exactly as glosscoat flashes. Your description of its ease of application and removal is the same experience I had with gloss coat.
I can't buy into the increased claims of longevity of this over gloss coat as to why it is different, because it's just a claim. No one can possibly have tested this claim as of yet. PBMG didn't sit on this product for 3 years testing its durability on paint while everyone else was releasing coatings and saturating the market.
Way too many claims have been made of coatings and when they don't live up to expectations, it's user application error as the target of the fault. And there's so many coatings out right now that there is simply no way on earth that all of these are substantially unique formulations. They simply come out too quickly.
15cc of Wolfgang or 20cc of glosscoat for the same price? I see what you did there...
Sorry to sound like such a downer on a new product, but man, this one just kind of shoves it right in my nose as off a bit.

I would be lying if I said I didn't expect this question to come up. Up until now, Optimum has been the only company to utilize a syringe for their coating.
First and foremost, this is not a repackaged Optimum Gloss Coat. Not only is the formula different, but the syringe, needle (higher gauge) and cap (white versus black) are not the same as Optimum.
I've been personally involved with this project for a little over 28 months. I guess you could call it my baby.
There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes, and every single product, from a leather cleaner to a state-of-the-art paint coating goes through rigorous testing before we even consider adding it to a product line. Some products make the cut, while others do not. I lead the development for all new products under the PBMG corporate umbrella, and I've given more formulas thumbs down than I can count on 10 hands.
Moving forward, here's just a few lab samples for Uber Ceramic Coating. Notice how 3 out of the 4 are yellow? Even after the formula was 99% finalized, I had to sit on these samples and observe them for a great length of time to make sure nothing abnormal happened. The yellowing is not acceptable, so a component had to be changed. This takes time and patience.
Notice how the bubble is not moving up with gravity? That's because this formula turned rock solid in the syringe 10 months after being opened. Again, not acceptable.
It's easier to assume than it is to trust. Rest assured you're in good hands.
