My new car and Optimum Gloss-Coat teaser pic

[RaysWay]

how far did 10cc go?

I used the included round yellow applicator and applied it fast and thick. I ended up using about 8cc`s on the paint - no wheels. I wasn`t being careful trying to apply it thin at all and I know with a different applicator, I would`ve used much less product.

I seriously doubt gloss coat is going to change anybody`s mind considering there are coatings less expensive that last just as long. Its just another new coating in a long line of new coatings.

It changed my mind! The fact that you can wax this coating v.s. Opti-Coat is a big deal for me. I`ve coated my motorcycle with Opti-Coat 2.0, CQuartz, Gtechniq C1 and EXO before and I ended up removing them all because I either didn`t like how they looked or I couldn`t wax it. I remember when I had the GTechniq combo on, it was bug season and my bike stayed flawless. Any bugs would just slide right off even after hundreds of miles on the highway. I was really happy with the protection, but I didn`t like how it changed the look of my metallic flake so I removed it. I was weary of coating this Toreador Red Pearl Metallic and I was honestly originally planning on just waxing it with Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub Gold Edition, but a few coworkers talked me into coating it the day before the detail. After applying it, I`m ECSTATIC with how it looks and feels. I`ll save the specifics for my rayview but the fact that I`ve got a layer of maximum protection which I can even regularly wax is a big deal for me. I`ve got a lot of wax I need to use lol.

I`ll leak a couple beading pics while I put the finishing touches on the rayview:

I may have to take a cruise to Vega`s house so I can measure the water contact angle.

Sweet! Looks like another great coating.

Well....
Optimum Technologies was one of the First to come out and offer hardness and longevity that is longer than anyone else...

Before Opti-Guard - Opti-Coat Pro, Opti-Coat 2.0, there was nothing but Zaino..

In all the years I have used it, including my personal vehicles, it has never had any problems, issues, anything...

If they have found a way to make it "glossier" ( define the levels of glossiness please )
then this might be a good thing if you really like to apply product on top of it, and can be ok with the trade off - less longevity...
