thinking of trying ironx to revive opticoat- have questions

My car is opticoated. Well I think it still is.

It hardly beads up anymore. Its been about 2 years. I want to try to deep clean the surface as I am sure there is build up.

Would ironx be the way to go? I already tried claying awhile back and it make zero difference. Beading was still crap.

I am guessing maybe I need something stronger? I was thinking of giving ironx a go as I cannot think of anything else.

What would you guys recommend?

Also, do you think those 50ml bottles would be enough for one car?

I am not sure if I would want to pay 20 bucks for a product I will use once. Unless of course it works amazingly well and does what I am hoping it would, and then perhaps it would be a monthly thing or something..

Assuming ironx is the way to go, think its worth paying for the 500ml bottle? This is just a hobby, so it would only ever be used on mine.

CarPro just released a brand new soap that is designed specifically for coatings. I would pick this up and give it a shot.

Very cool! I will have to give this a shot. Its not too much either.

In for more suggestions, but this might also be a good general soap replacement if it will help clear up the surface.

Try some APC with some dwell time. Also clay the surface afterwards.

If this doesn't bring it back, then the Opti-Coat is probably dead.

I wouldn't be surprised if its dead. I've had never ending issues with opti coat. I wish I never bought it in the first place and tried cquartz instead.

I figured I should put a best effort into reviving it however as some parts still bead a little.

I think I am going to wash it with APC and dawn and see what happens. And then wash it again with car soap. And then I will lightly clay.
