I didn`t really have much of choice though as I wasn`t able to find anyone else who applies Opti-Coat in my area except for the one authorized detailer on Optimum`s website I maintain the Optimum Forums and am familiar with most who are listed on Optimum Car Care, you should PM me regarding who your installer was, but that other detailer`s website was advertising a Teflon sealant or some crap and I immediately dismiss anyone who tries to push a Teflon product lol. Doesn`t Optimum check the credentials and reputation of detailers before "authorizing" them as an official Opti-Coat applier?No we do not police our customers and it would be impossible to do so. What Optimum requires is a hold harmless agreement stating that Optimum is not responsible for misapplication.
Another thing is that I get my car washed once a month rather than weekly. Those who only wash monthly, have you also noticed accumulation of swirls and contamination?Only washing monthly means more dirt on the car and more chance for scratches if improper technique is employed.
