Background:

Our products are made in Memphis, TN and used, distributed, and installed worldwide.

Prior to founding Optimum Polymer Technologies and Opti-Coat, Dr. Ghodoussi worked for over 12 years as an Organic Chemist overseeing research and development focused on polymers and automotive paint formulations. “Dr. G", as he is affectionately known in the auto detailing industry, helped develop modern basecoat/clearcoat paint technology and he is the creator and inventor of all our products.

Dr. Ghodoussi received his Ph.D. and Master’s degrees in Polymer and Organic Chemistry from Oregon State University and his MBA from the University of Memphis. He also holds Bachelors of Science degrees in Chemical Engineering and in Chemistry from the University of California in Santa Barbara. He was inducted into the International Detailing Association Hall of Fame in 2023. He continues to work everyday to expand and improve our industry leading product line.

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine (ONR) is the original Rinseless Wash. Focusing on continual improvement, it has been revised five times since 2006. ONR is a pivotal product that changed the landscape of modern auto detailing,  car care and protection.

Optimum Ceramic Coatings were the first automotive ceramic coatings to be released in the US and Canada. Later re-branded as Opti-Coat Pro, our line of ceramic coatings are still the most durable ceramic coatings made and offer the most comprehensive warranty in the industry.

Proven formulas, our products are consistently independently tested and verified. They have been used by many of the world’s top auto detailing professionals for more than two decades.
