Brothers Research Corp. was founded in 1975 by Dr. William Bailey and his brother, Jerry to begin marketing a new automotive appearance product.

Because of their dissatisfaction with the products being offered at the time, these two car enthusiasts (and chemists) began in 1973 formulating their own automotive polish. The only products available then were difficult to use, left a heavy chalk residue, were not very durable, and gave only moderate results in shine.

After two years research and approximately one hundred trial formulations, all the above discrepencies were overcome. This revolutionary polish went on easily as a semi-transparent film, was just as easily removed, and created a brilliant, durable gloss that would last up to a year.

The response was so overwhelming that Brothers Research was formed to market this new offering called “Duragloss”.

Today, the Duragloss Appearance Line contains 54 products for the Automotive, Marine/RV and Heavy Duty markets. Duragloss Products are distributed through the automotive aftermarket, and are targeted towards those of you who are just like our founders; people who take pride in their automobile.

Optimum car care products are a group of environmentally safe, paint safe, technologically advanced products that will give your vehicle optimum shine and protection.

Optimum Polymer Technologies was founded by an organic chemist whose specialty is polymers and automotive paint formulations. Dr. David Ghodoussi worked backwards from his knowledge of paint's composition to formulate cleaners and protectants best suited for today's finishes. Years of research and testing led to a line of products that deliver superior results without compromising sensitive clear coat finishes or the environment.

Optimum employs the latest polymer technology to put their products at the front of the pack in terms of durability, surface enhancement, and protection. Their Car Wax produces a warm carnauba shine with added silicon sealants to extend the life of the wax. In a convenient spray formula, it goes on effortlessly and requires no buffing to create a lasting layer of protection.

Optimum Car Wash works hand in hand with any quality wax by cleaning the paint without removing the protective coat of wax or sealant. You wax less often yet retain a high level of paint protection.

Optimum Protectant Plus is a versatile cleaner and protectant that restores the original color and uniform texture to leather and vinyl surfaces. It hides scratches and replenishes protective chemicals lost through everyday wear. The finish looks new, not slick or sticky.

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine is the environmentally friendly way to keep your vehicle clean year round. It is formulated to comply with VOC regulations and it is completely rinseless, requiring minimal water usage. Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine is effective for use as a rinseless wash, quick detailer, and a clay lubricant.

Optimum Opti-Seal is a hyper-concentrated polymer coating that provides your vehicle with a layer of durable protection that lasts for months. The spray, wipe and walk away application makes Opti-Seal a perfect option for busy perfectionists.

Opti-Coat Gloss-Coat Paint Coating adds a clear resin layer to your paint that acts as a second clear coating of protection. This user-friendly formula creates a transparent protective coating that acts as a barrier between your paint and the elements. Gloss-Coat eliminates the need for waxing your vehicle without compromising on protection.

With all these benefits, Optimum products are also easy to use. Professionals and weekend detailers alike will love the convenience and results of these advanced car care products
