Removal is easy. Just thin, light coats, set a timer on your phone for one minute while you do the next panel and buff off. V07 has had no durability for me either. And it leaves streaks/runs if applied in humidity in my experience.
Maybe I’ll give the HydroSlick one last try on the Mustang for the winter. I have some friends coming over to do some work on their cars in my driveway this weekend. I’ll knock it out then.

Caled4 -- Exactly !!!! Not sure if anyone is even Durability Testing these products before selling them...It takes - Years - to really test a coating, and none of these people are ever going to take that time; when they can just put something shiny out there and people will stop and pick it up..

I can tell you from personal experience that Optimum Opti-Coat Pro lasts at least 8+ years. Coated my Dad`s car in 2009, he maintained with ONR, no waxes, no sealants, no boosters (Opti-Coat doesn`t require one) and he was hit in 2016 and the passenger rear door and quarter were repainted. 2 years later, he called to ask if I could put the coating in the refinished areas of the car because they didn`t bead like the rest of the car. Sure enough, when I washed it, I could easily tell what was and what wasn`t coated. Even found a high spot on his rear window I left over 8 years earlier and didn`t see. Ended up just redoing the whole car though, Opti-Coat was 3-4 versions past what I`d put on it.

I really wish that opti used there tech and know how and update gloss coat to at least be competitive with Cquartz UK and Gyeon Pure. For me gloss coat was very underwhelming and I used when I first started coating cars it was rated at 3 years when there new 2015 update came out. It was barely able to get to 12 months. And there 10cc syringe is equivalent to 10mls. So they were selling 10mls for $60. Therefore if they sold it to you in 30mls or 30cc it would be $180 and Cquartz Uk 30mls is $70 and it’s far superior to glosscoat
It is. But that`s what I`ve seen so far personally. I really didn`t need to coat anything other than what was repainted because the coating applied in 2009 was obviously still there and working fine. I`ve been using it since 2009 professionally (and in testing since late 2006) and I`ve yet to have a warranty claim or see it actually no longer evident on the paint.
