Spring Cleaning
I received Opti-Coat 2.0 Permanent Paint Coating the other day and decided to do a detail and test out the paint coating, its been on the car for about 24hrs + now but its not as smooth as sealant or wax but dang it beading water like no other product i use to date.
stuff i use: CG Citrus Wash & Gloss (6-8oz) to strip off all wax/sealant Iron X (Boy it stinks) Clay Rewash w/ CG Citrus Wash & Gloss (6-8oz) Meguiar m105 w/Orange Pad Meguiar m205 w/White Pad Menzerna SF 4500 (PO85RD) w/Black pad (CF Roof ONLY) IPA wipe down to get rid of all oil from the polish Opti-Coat 2.0 Next week planning on coating my wheels and cleaning my engine bay, more picture coming since i only look a couple pictures. My setup for the night Iron X doing its job Prep then called it a night Opti-Coat 2.0 doing what it does best

yeah that's the only thing i don't like about Opti-coat its not as smooth as wax or sealant, has a difference feel to it. I might layer wax on top of it after the 30day cure period just for the feel.

The Iron-X works sweet. These cars sure pick up a lot of stuff on the rear bumper/trunk area.

Opti coat is a very good protectant. Very durable agains scratches aswell.
