Review: Optimum OptiCoat 2.0

SakiN said:
Car looks excellent! Im waiting for my Opti Coating to come, just curious why you chose not to coat the black plastics around the fog lights and the rear diffuser/bumper trim. Also did you coat the headlights, tail lights or reflectors?

I also have a white car, its an acrylic kinda white without flake, and I find doing anything on it a bit more time consuming especially the roof since Im always seeing it at an angle. Just wondering if it took two hours because you were being extra careful on white.

Thanks for the review, Im a bit more confident knowing your white car came out ultra clean.

I have more work to do on the trim before I want to coat it. It was a very easy two hours. I took my time and I was constantly checking prior panels for high spots.

That looks great! HDR photo's aren't cheating on white (or black) IMO. Camera's cannot meter extreme colors correctly.

That is SO true!

The car looks great! OC's ability to repel road film and sheet wate is impressive and it's very tempting to buy some. I have so many LSPs that I can't count them!

Thanks! It's probably going to rain for cars and coffee tomorrow and I'm actually looking forward to seeing what this stuff does in the rain. I have a sickness.

That's after a bunch of rain in the morning and afternoon on Saturday. I also got to drive in the rain and wet roads and the car still looks clean and this is with only OptiCoat and no topper. Definitely a big difference for not holding onto grime or dirt compared to only having sealant or wax on the car.

Opti-Coat is great at releasing dirt and grime. One of the bigger benefits IME.

Excellent review!! Is a great product.

I have switched from the supplied sponge applicator to a small Saran Wrap covered sponge wrapped in a suede MF. Lots of light helps on lighter colors.

A agree wholeheartedly Mike!

It's interesting that you touched on the actual application.

I was watching a YouTube video of someone at Optimum applying Opti-Coat. The technician placed the foam pad "inside" the latex glove then wrapped an ordinary paper shop towel around it to apply the product.....It worked effortlessly!! :bigups

HA, just got the heck of it I Googled the video and found it!
