Opti-Coat’s history

Opti-Coat was established in 2001 by Dr. David Ghodoussi, who had been working for 12 years in the field of automotive paint formulations as a organic chemist. David felt the protection offered at the time wasn’t aimed at the types of automotive paint. Essentially covering, instead of working together. Opti-Coat develops ceramic coatings that are designed to bring out the shine while protecting the surface underneath. As a side quest they have a focus on creating products that have a minimal effect on nature and humans.
The company is located in Memphis, America and has a network of distributors, providing the products to several places in the world.
