The Innovation That Changed How the World Washes Cars

Over 1 Billion Gallons Of Water Saved

In 2006, Optimum No Rinse introduced an entirely new way to wash vehicles.

Today, ONR is the original automotive rinseless wash and has helped save more than 1 billion gallons of water while changing how enthusiasts, professionals, and even commercial fleets clean vehicles worldwide.

The same company that introduced rinseless washing to the mainstream is now creating the next evolution of paint protection.

The Innovation That Changed Ceramic Coatings

While most ceramic coatings use Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂), Opti-Coat pioneered the use of Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology to deliver greater chemical resistance, durability, and long-term performance.

Originally developed for industrial applications where extreme durability is required, Silicon Carbide is one of the hardest and most chemically resistant materials available. By incorporating SiC into our coating technology, Opti-Coat created a protection system designed to withstand years of exposure to UV radiation, environmental contamination, detergents, road salts, bird droppings, and other harsh conditions that can degrade conventional coatings.

The result is a coating that protects longer, requires less maintenance, and continues performing long after many traditional ceramic coatings have reached the end of their service life.

That's why Opti-Coat installers have documented vehicles protected for more than a decade without reapplication, boosters, or annual maintenance requirements.

More than gloss. More than water beading. Real long-term protection engineered through chemistry.

The Innovation Creating a New Category of Paint Protection

Not a Ceramic Coating. Not Traditional PPF.

Opti-Shield Liquid PPF combines a proprietary self-healing resin system with Opti-Coat's proven Silicon Carbide technology to create an entirely new category of vehicle protection.

Seamless appearance.

No film edges.

Customizable protection levels.

Self-healing technology.

Protection that bridges the gap between ceramic coatings and traditional Paint Protection Film.

The Products Behind Your Business Matter

Every detailer chooses what they want their reputation to stand for.

Some build their reputation around products designed to follow the market.

Others build it around products developed to move the industry forward.

For more than two decades, Opti-Coat has challenged industry assumptions through innovations like ONR, Silicon Carbide ceramic coatings, and Opti-Shield Liquid PPF.

When your name is attached to every vehicle you touch, the products behind your business should stand for something.
