I have a customer who bought a used M3 as a daily driver about 4-5 months ago. I Opti-Coated it for him. There were a couple of small defects (2 chips on hood and gouge on rear bumper from something dragged out of trunk) that he decided, at the time, he would live with since the car is just a DD. Now he has decided to have those repaired.



Is there any advice I should give to the person doing the work as to how to remove the OC to do the work?



I have read that doing spot repairs with OC is not recommended. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this? I can do the whole panels, but the hood is a lot of real estate.



What polish is recommended for scuffing the OC for applying another layer?





Edit: I know that a couple of these topics have been touched on in the past. Wondering if anyone has experienced anything new with this and has new advice.
