Thanks! This is all about to be changed, however. I don't think most people around here will be into it

Was just looking at opti coat , seems like an expensive option to detail . can opti coat be applied on satin vinyl wrap?

Yessir! It was a super easy application...cross-hatch it on per section and remove within 45 minutes for each. I had a friend help me, took about 4 hours...including wheels and calipers!

I heavily suggest it regardless of what you have...paint, gloss/matte vinyl...it cuts down on detailing so much.

Probably very well. Half of the reason I did it was because of tar and dirt that would stain the vinyl. Now that it's on there, the same crap that would stain it wipes right off. Or, washes off with high pressure. I drove the car through a hurricane and it was perfect with a wash and spray wax.

Before applying the vinyl wrap? No. However, highly recommended that you do paint correction before the Opticoat.
