How does anyone coat a car with only 10cc of product?!?!?!?

I can easily get to average sized cars out of 1 syringe of Opti-Coat Pro. I use the included foam applicator as it holds the liquid very well.
 
I used every bit of the 10 cc of gloss coat on the 2 coats I applied to the Subaru Legacy.

I was upset I did not have enough for the wheels but so far the coating is working out very well.

I am not sure if I over applied or others are applying too thin? I need to make sure that if I am going to invest 6-12 hours on an intense wash, decon chemical and physical, tar removal , 2 step polish, and a coating that it will not fail prematurely because I stretched the product too far. To me the 60 bucks on the coating is well worth it if I can get 24 months, anything over that is a bonus. Under that and I am starting to feel a little ripped off.

Optimum products have always lived up to what they are suppose to be and claim. The 2.0 old version did not bead as well as the new gloss coat and it seems to be as protective.

My son is not a car guy and its holding up well to the abuse. Perfect match for the product.

I'm right there with you. Dropping ~$60 on a single vehicle for 2 years of protection is well worth the investment.
 
Troy, I agree with you. Way back to Opti coat 2.0 and the old Pro version the cost was increased and the volume decreased.
10 CC IMO is not enough yes we all can do it with 10 cc, but most of us have to purchase larger volume of product for a very high cost. (RonkH) Correct!
For a everyday driver an coating is the way to go. While its not a cure all. Its the best we have available at this time. IMO
 
In the 6+ years of installing OCP, I've yet to apply more than 1 coat. I just make sure to apply it in a cross hatch pattern for adequate coverage. The current Pro version comes with about 17ccs and it's plenty to coat 2 cars. Can't comment on 2.0 or GC, but I can't imagine it would be all that different? Especially with needing to apply additional layers. I know other coating companies precribe multiple coats, but I've never seen anything from OPT doing the same.
 
I have only done one vehicle with Gloss-Coat so I am by no means an expert, but I think we used over half on a Volvo S60. I enjoyed the ease of use, I've seen some people say it only cost $20 for an application of product, the standard size sold is 10cc, and its $60, the 20cc tube is $100, that equates to 4cc per vehicle......
