Why Opti-Coat is different.

Our story started with a chemist.

Opti-Coat was founded by Dr. David Ghodoussi, an automotive paint chemist, with a simple belief: advanced car care products should be built on real chemistry, real testing, and real-world performance.

That foundation still guides us today.

Opti-Coat introduced the first automotive ceramic coating in North America and helped define a category that reshaped professional detailing. But being first is only part of the story. What matters most is what the technology continues to prove over time.

We develop, test, manufacture, and support our products in-house. From ONR® to SiC Ceramic Coatings to Opti-Shield™ Liquid PPF, our focus has always been on solving real problems for professional installers, detailers, and vehicle owners.

What makes Opti-Coat different?

✔️ Chemist-led product development
✔️ First automotive ceramic coating in North America
✔️ USA-made since 2001
✔️ In-house R&D, manufacturing, and quality control
✔️ Advanced SiC Ceramic Coating technology
✔️ Proven long-term durability
✔️ Professional-only coating systems
✔️ Opti-Shield™ Liquid PPF technology
✔️ ONR®, the original rinseless car wash
✔️ Direct manufacturer support for installers

Technical superiority is not built on one feature or one claim. It comes from better chemistry, controlled manufacturing, proven longevity, and products designed to perform in the real world.

We may not be the first coating brand a detailer installs in their career.

We’re the brand many experienced professionals ultimately choose.

Because experience changes what professionals value.

Opti-Coat. Where chemistry meets innovation.

Thank you to Clint Allerton of Auto Detail Doctor for contributing to the Opti-Coat blog and sharing his real-world perspective as an Opti-Coat Authorized Installer.

In his latest article, Clint explains how Paint Protection Film and Opti-Shield Liquid PPF can work together as part of a complete vehicle protection strategy.

Traditional PPF provides strong physical protection for selected panels, while Opti-Shield Liquid PPF adds a seamless, self-healing, high-build protective layer that can be applied across painted surfaces, complex contours, and areas where film edges or fitment may be a concern.

Together, they give installers more flexibility and give vehicle owners a smarter way to protect gloss, appearance, and long-term value.

This type of professional insight helps customers better understand their options and highlights the value of working with knowledgeable Opti-Coat Installers.

Opti-Glass Pro: Clearer Vision. Longer Protection.

Glass takes constant abuse from rain, road film, bugs, hard water, and wiper friction. Opti-Glass Pro is engineered to chemically bond to automotive glass, helping improve water behavior, visibility, and ease of cleaning.

Professional glass protection that does more than bead water, it helps keep your windshield easier to maintain through real-world driving.
