Marking the one month application of the coating on my hood I thought I'd shoot a beading and blowdrying video. The video was shot using pressurized and non pressurized water and dried with my shopvac electric blower. No towel drying was required!



Enjoy:

 
Any issues with streaking on the red Mercedes you did a couple weeks ago?



How many miles do you have on the car since the coating was applied?

How many washes have you done?

No streaking at all, I went back over the whole car 1hour after initial application with a MF dampened with OID. I had two places (small corners at trim) where if I hadn't gone over them it probably would have. I'll probably do a wash on the MB this weekend and will shoot a video of it beading.



On my car (in the video) I have put 642 miles and have washed it about 8 times. I have also deliberately left it out in the weather. Today there was a gritty feel to the paint from pollen. I pressure rinsed the car and it came off the hood with only the rinse; I had to shampoo the rest of the car to get it off. It wasn't bonded enuff to require clay or anything, but the coating wasn't having anything to do with it, LOL!
 
Other than trying a very early version of the coating, I am completely out of the loop on this product. How does the look compare to OS or OCW?



Just FYI, upload to youtube, much less compression so the video quality is a lot better.

to me it looks almost exactly like OS. The difference is very noticeable at the next wash though, after curing you can top with ANYTHING. I added OCW to my hood and it deepened it just like it does OS. You'll love this stuff after you do a full correction and then apply it to protect all your hard work.



Sorry about the video, it was shot with my MOTO KRZR. My sony needs the head replaced b/c I left a tape in it too long, bummer.
 
What product is this? Opti-Seal, Poli-Seal, or something new and spaceage from the Polymer Technology Gurus? I'm in for it!
 
It's a Wipe on coating that lasts over a year. Only available to pros because if you apply it wrong you have to abrasively remove it.

No, you can buy it. I only meant that is was not available to everyone. All you have to do is contact Optimum and do a little paperwork (liability type stuff) and you are good to go. PM me if you need contact info or more details.
