Thanks Trouble, nice to see you around!

Opti-Guard, from my understanding, is the original Opti-Coat which was only available to professional detailers. It has a quicker cure time so you have less time to remove the high spots before it hardens.

Opti-Coat 2.0 has a longer flash time and is more consumer friendly.

Thanks for not responding with a 14 paragraph explanation. You make things easy to understand :bubba

"Profesional Use" what does that mean, you have to fax a copy of your business license before it will be shipped? :huh:

Originally you had to provide a TAX ID number of business license number to get Opti-Coat (1).

Originally you had to provide a TAX ID number of business license number to get Opti-Coat (1).

So it didn't matter what kind of business you owned as long as you had an ID #. I can see why they did away with that

In general, how long does Opti Coat/Gaurd last? I've heard up to 5 years :wow:

I can't find the link to Opti Coat or Opti Gaurd :hmmm:

To order those you have to call the manufacturer directly. They are still for professional users only.

This explains why I couldn't find it :crazy2:


Do you apply Opti Gaurd the same way as Opti Coat?

 

[JSFM35X]

Great Video-I could have used that before my first time. It is going to help alot of first timers for sure.

Yes but you have less time (5 minutes) to remove high spots.

You say in the video to remove Opti Coat you have to polish. I've always heard you couldn't polish (correct) untill its (Opti Coat) removed.
Could you explain the difference :thinking

The only way to remove Opti Coat (1.0-2.0-Opti-Guard) is through abrasion by sanding and or polishing. You have to abrade it off the paint.

You can actually polish swirl marks out of Opti-Coat but once it is applied you cannot remove any swirl marks underneath it until it is removed.

Nice video Todd. I think a lot of people tend to avoid Opticoat because they are afraid of the application.

I was a little worried how it would be when I first tried it but it's really simple like you showed in your video. It's a great product

 

[TroyScherer]

Very informative and a good demonstration Todd. I agree OC is very easy to apply and a great option for every day drivers where you want the Optimum protection....

great video todd. i think it helps alleviate fears of really screwing up an application of opticoat.

Thank you very much for all the compliments!
