umi000- SO glad I didn`t come across badly!
Yeah, the posts you linked to are in line with what I read at the Optimum Forums. My interpretation was that spot-repairs aren`t feasible and that to make any full-panel repairs Accumulator-proof (as in, maybe "scuffing" will be sufficient, but it`s not a guaranteed approach) you`d need to hit all of the OptiCoated surface with a fairly aggressive product. I might be making a mountain out of a molehill (and different people will see each of those differently
) but it just sounds incompatible with how I go about this stuff. The spot-repairs issue is my main concern, as that`s pretty much all I do any more with regard to anything remotely aggressive.
I was all set to use it on the undercarriage of the S8 until I started thinking about how in the world I`d ever polish all those nooks and crannies when it came time to redo it
Heh heh, believe me...if they got a hard, marring-resistant, durable coating that I could maintain my way, I`d be all for it
As it is, if I were renting/leasing a vehicle the OptiCoat would probably be my choice. And I wouldn`t mind finding some application for this nice big syringe of it that`s just gathering dust! I hardly used any at all for the 4 Tahoe wheels/caps/lug covers.
Oh, and I`m impressed that you remembered my 476S/Dodo story! That was just one of those cases where a particular approach (SRP + 476S) gave a specific look that was just right for a certain car. Heh heh, note all the qualifiers like "particular", "specific", and "certain"!
