Optimum Hyper Spray polish- its finally here!

Optimum Hyper Spray Polish

Optimum Polymer, along with Kleen Car would like to introduce a ground-breaking and innovative new polish (and soon a compound) that is unlike anything else on the market. Our profound knowledge of paint, along with pioneering chemistry has allowed us to create a paint finishing system that has never been seen before. Get ready for the emergence of a new technology in buffing products. This new polish incorporates a unique abrasive technology and proprietary polymers that will correct quickly while not being destructive and finishes to perfection. We have seen the future, and the future is here in this product!

We hesitate to call our new spray polish “revolutionary”, as many products are introduced with immense hype and marketing with a claim of “revolutionary”. However, this patent-pending new polish was born from our work with a major car manufacturer. In the development of a product for a specific car plant, we came across a new way to formulate a buffing product. We needed to brainstorm and solve particular problem in regards to the issues the car paint was having and the result was a spray polish! What we saw was conventional paste type products did not cover the entire buffing pad. When used on a wet sanded area at the plant after wet sanding, the pad itself was leaving marring, essentially from areas of dry buffing.  Also the pad would get clogged from too much polish being in the middle of the pad, leading to premature replacement of the pad on the factory line which costs more money. We solved these issues with a spray polish! Once we solved their problems, we decided to develop a version of this polish for the detail and body shop industry.

It was a daunting task to develop something that has never been done before, but we were up to the challenge. We worked tirelessly for over a year and through hundreds of samples and proto-types, along with hundreds of hours of testing. In the end, we have hit the market with a polish that is truly one of a kind, and not only innovative and revolutionary, but hopefully the best you have ever seen. So, here is why we think you will LOVE it

Optimum hyper spray polish

A polish in a spray form that will quickly and permanently remove swirl marks. The result in the second step of our “paint perfect” system is unparalleled brilliance, clarity and gloss. There is NEVER a need for a 3rd step, even on blacks. This polish is buttery smooth and the most user friendly product you will ever use. The advantages are numerous and the disadvantages are none.

 

  • Spray form means easy application. The Optimum Hyper spray polish is thin enough to spray from a bottle but thick enough to stick to the surface
  • Spray it on a pad directly or spray it onto the panel you are working on
  • Spray form ensures the entire pad gets covered with polish and the pad will not get clogged and no dry buffing!
  • Absolutely body shop safe and paint-able and VOC compliant.
  • Superior gloss and clarity, buttery smooth, and tremendous range in cutting ability
  • Can be used in the sun. Super long working time and it will not dry up, get hazy and crusty!
  • Approved for car plant use and has passed multiple plant trials on various versions of clear coats.
  • A little product goes a long way. An 18 ounce bottle will last as long as a quart of the traditional products and you get to use every last drop.
  • The product NEVER gives up! Its uniform structure will keep cutting as long as you need it to while NEVER over-correcting and removing too much paint.
  • Absolutely ZERO dust! If you are used to dust getting all over the place and accepting that as part of the process, you don’t have to anymore. This is the cleanest product you will ever see
  • Don’t be fooled by the spray bottle. This polish is aggressive and still finishes to perfection
  • Adjustable by your buffing style. Used with higher RPM and more pressure results in a fast cut, while easing the speed and pressure turns it into a finishing polish.
  • Easy wipe up and removal, and no chalking. The Optimum Hyper spray polish will wipe off easy and not leave a chalky residue and build up in cracks and crevices
  • Can be used with ANY buffer and ANY buffing pad. Used with a rotary buffer will yield fast cutting and a great finish and quick swirl removal, while used with an orbital buffer and ANY foam pad will produce a perfect finish
  • Optimum hyper spray polish can be used with an orbital buffer to remove, yes remove compounding swirls left behind from a rotary buffer and create a perfect finish. 

We could go on and on about what we think of our new product and how great it is. However, our biggest compliment will be the compliments that YOUR customers give you on how great their vehicles now look. We hope you will give our new Optimum hyper spray polish a try

Kleen Car detail training classes

Kleen Car Spring 2010 detail training class schedule

Hurry, only 3 spots left!

We are happy to announce our spring 2010 detail training classes. Before the season gets in full swing, don’t wait any longer to attend one of our classes. We invite you and members of your business to attend one of our classes. We also would like to extend to you, for a limited time, a special price for 2 or more attendees of $449 per person. Why not bring a couple of your key detailers along with you and take advantage of our $50 discount. This discount is for a limited time and 2 or more people must attend.

We hope there is a date that you will be free to attend the most comprehensive class available. We are located in Northern NJ and within a short drive from Newark Airport and just over the river from New York City. Our lineup is as follows:

  • June 17th and 18th Thursday and Friday

We know you have seen other detail training companies that offer classes and also quite a number of “books” or “manuals”. Well, hopefully if you are checking this out, you know that a book or manual is not really the way to be taught the proper way to detail a vehicle. We also feel that keeping you for a week is also not going to accomplish much more than our comprehensive 2 day class. We feel 2 days is sufficient to present the information required, and to give the student enough hands-on time so that he will start to develop the skills needed to become an all-star detailer. You will still need to practice to become proficient and highly skilled, so it’s easier to practice on your time and not spend more money than you have to for the extra days in class. Remember, its not the total time spent in the class, it’s the quality of the instruction that truly makes a difference.

This is why we feel we have the most comprehensive and best detail training class available:

Its not just about putting a buffer in your hands and letting you go to town and calling that a “hands-on” class. There needs to be many other subjects covered in full detail before you ever should put a buffer in your hands. The problem is many detailers, novices, and car enthusiasts do not understand the whole package. What we do at Kleen Car is tie everything together with the subjects we cover and the way we teach each subject. We make sense out of detailing and simplify it, but with an extremely comprehensive and technical presentation that leaves no stone unturned.

You may see that other companies claim to cover the same subjects that we cover, which can make your decision more difficult. By seeing this, you may think you are comparing apples to apples. However, we get into the science of the subjects and all the technical points and explain in detail why it’s important to know this information. For example if you look at our class outline page, we go more in depth on every single subject, and every little item, than any other detail training company.

We won't just tell you about base coat/clear coat paint systems, we tell you the chemistry behind them and explain each one that is on the market today. We tell you how each one will may react to buffing and why it’s important not to treat every car the exact same way with regards to buffing. The different varieties of clear coat are a main reason why some detailers have trouble buffing some vehicles. No other class gets as involved in paint technology as we do.

We won't just show you chemicals and what they are used for, we will explain their chemical makeup as well and what the PH scale means and how they are formulated. Of course we teach safety and simplicity in using each one as well. We show you how to save money with chemicals and not be confused by the bombardment of all the different products and fancy names out there.

We won't just show you buffing pads. We know you can see the difference between a wool buffing pad and a foam buffing pad. We show and explain how they are made, how they are graded and when you should use a certain pad. We show you the gimmicks and the hypes, and then simplify it, and show you what you really need. By the way, we also are the sole tester and technical advisor for the buffing pad company we deal with. We know what you need and what you don’t and will save you money and clear up the confusion in the process.

We don't just tell you about buffing products. We explain their formulation and what goes into them to determine what they are. We erase the confusion on this subject as well. We are the co- creator of a line of buffing products and we have revolutionized and helped detailers produce far better looking vehicles in far less time, with far less effort. We explain our 13 point criteria on what makes a great buffing product, and why all 13 need to be met to create the perfect product. You will only get this in the Kleen Car detail training class.

Before we even get into the buffing of a vehicle we teach you wet sanding. This is a huge money maker and a very important skill to learn. We give you the confidence to tackle any scratch on any vehicle and repair a scratch the correct way (without paint touch up brush) and make extra money and show your customer what kind of advanced skills you really have. Again, we don’t just do a demo, we let you do it and see what can be done on what seems like the nastiest scratches. We even let the confident students wet sand the demo vehicles in a real life situation. Of course we explain the science and technical aspects of wet sanding, as well as in an in depth presentation that no other company does.

And of course, everyone wants to learn how to buff. With the information that will have already been learned in the class, it gives the student much more confidence to buff the vehicle the correct way. Not only will they not damage the paint finish, but they will now have the knowledge on what needs to be done to correctly buff the car and produce a flawless finish. We not only show students how to buff, but how to do it correctly from the start. We have had total novices in our classes, who have never used a high speed buffer before, and have picked up the skill incredibly fast because of our unique training and coaching.

Of course we tie everything together at the end of the class as well. We show you how to finish the detail and check to make sure each and every job is done to perfection. We teach time saving methods in every section that we cover, but these methods only ADD to the quality of the detail. They are not shortcuts. So what better way is there to be more efficient, more skilled, save money, make more money and become an all-star detailer, than by attending the Kleen Car detail training class? We hope you will make the decision to come to us!

Even if you decide to attend one of our competitor’s classes, you will still learn. Those classes are good. However, we feel we are the BEST! We know this is a financial decision you do not want to be wrong about. We want you to attend the class where you will learn the most. You will not walk away from our class thinking that you were missing out on something. Please feel free to call us anytime to discuss the class or any questions you may have. We want you to become successful and help bring the detailing industry to an even higher level. Thanks for taking a look. Good luck.
