A "new word of the day" for 07.25.2012:
Pendulous
Definition:
1. Hanging loosely
2. Suspended so as to swing or sway.
2. Wavering; undecided.
-Some Detailers seem to be quite pendulous about applying any of the now numerous ‘Coatings’ to
their vehicles’ CC paint-film...Including Opti-Gard/Coat 2.0.
-Is this pendulousness due to the “type of bonding”…to a top-coat paint-film
the above mentioned products claim to chemically-perform?
-IMO...There are many Optimum AGO Forum Threads that will relieve any
anxieties of "bonding", if one so wishes to peruse said threads.

Ofttimes forum members will report their exuberant findings after deciding on, and using paint coatings.
However, the most anal ( define anal - Bing DICTIONARY ) amongst our fellows, usually succumb to perceived issues until reassured by AGO'ers (AGIANS) or product reps.
Still, the availabilty of information pertaining to such issues are readily found by using the search function.

Quality:
1:
a: an inherent or distinguishing characteristic; a property.
b: a personal trait; especially a character trait.
2: essential character; nature
3:
a: superiority of kind.
b: degree or grade of excellence.
quality - definition of quality by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
In my opinion, quality has nothing to do with price, nor should price have anything to do with quality. In reality, we know this not to be the case.
From my perspective, the cost associated with quality is subjective.
From my experience dealing with persnickety clients, it is objective.
Seems to me that the ones who rarely have the time or patience to have their vehicles detailed, are the ones who want it cheap and fast.
It also seems that these prospects are more inclined to ' ride 'em hard...and put 'em up wet'. They also expect superior results, but are only willing to pay for the lower tier packages. Nor are they likely to purchase the maintenance package.
The 'Keeping up with the Joneses' mentality pays off in certain sub-divisions for the mobile detailer, yet the only negative I have encountered with prospects suffering from the forsaid condition, is that when the results (as seen in the finished detail of neighbor 1) is desired by neighbor 2; and, neighbor 2 cannot justify the cost, or the hours, with the services rendered.
They have no problem choosing the 'Wash and Shine' package, all the while, expecting the qualities of the 'Premium Package'.
Just Ramblin...

Very nice Quality analogy VT.
rops:(Just to add to your 07.26.2012 "new word of the day”…)
-Folks that do have the above expectations, that you so eloquently described, are…IMHO:
Chimerical (ki-mer-i-kuhl)
Definition:
1. Fanciful, imaginary, unreal
2. Absurd, delusive
3. Dreamy, fictional, quaint
4. Pie-in-the-sky (My favorite)
Also:
The perception that a "film-layer", of an LSP application, will form a thickness that will
secure protection of CC without the benefit of any conventional scientific-proof;
or, even attempting commonplace real-virtues-proofing; is, perhaps, a chimerical idea.
However: This reasoning will not cause any abatement in, what may be deemed as my being delusory:
'The Ceremonial LSP-ing Processes'…
To Wit:
''And what art thou, thou idol ceremony?
What kind of god art thou?...
What are thy rents?
What are thy comings-in?
O ceremony, show me but thy worth.''
~William Shakespeare [Henry V, act 4, sc. 1.]

No bout a doubt it. And I don't give in one iota.
The way that I see it, as I've been quite pendulous concerning OC2.0, I've got bigger fish to fry.
If paint coatings were as protective as claimed, then why won't it seal out whatever causes oxidation in SS paint; or, for that matter...what would happen to the aluminum Airstream that the B&B crew just finished if a coating was applied.
Just finished a personal experiment concerning the longevity of OCW. Not scientific, but since I wash and OCW/OOS (intermittently) twice weekly, I wanted to see how they held up with more time inbetween. Not being one to let dust and grime accumulate, 10 days was my limit.
What I did notice was that after washing with OCWash, I observered that the surface was more in need of a light claying than anytime previous.
Nothing against OPT, but it seems to me that my weekly regimine is what was removing any contaminates that OOS and OCW was protecting against.

Methicones leave the suface feeling 'dry to the touch'. No tackiness or greasy feel.
Dark black look, high luster.
Awaiting durability.
5 days later. Less than 30 miles per day. Think I'll go 2 coats going forward. Awaiting wet driving conditions.

NWOD for 07.27.2012 if I may.
Subjugate:
1. to bring under complete control or subjection; conquer, master.
2.to make submissive : subdue.
a.Seems that many AGO'ers relatively new to detailing find it necessary to attempt to subjugate clear coat failure.
b.Enthusiast are readily placated by the subjugation of swirls after seeking forum advice pertaining to favorite product/pad choice.

Minutiae: (noun, plural) small or trivial details. define minutiae - Bing DICTIONARY
Detailers, dedicated to the correction of the minutiae, are often well respected on the forums.

There are products/methods available for detailing that are insidious in nature. Producing desired results, but the long term effects may prove to be harmful to the vehicle.

The continual bombardment from the insidious UV-rays that vehicles’ top-coat paint film layer (including 'CC')
are so subjugated…should not be thought of as minutiae.
UV-rays are, indeed, perfidious.

2. Envious
3a. of an unpleasant, or objectionable nature
3b. of a kind to cause harm or resentment

Indemnification
Definition:
1. Insured against loss
2. Reimbursement after loss, damage, liability incurred
According to this ongoing 07.29.2012 thread: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...e-complex-not-meeting-their-requirements.html
-An AGO forum member (that operates a mobile detailing business) received an unanticipated, invidious phone message announcing that,
due to his not being indemnified...to/at...what this office complex customer deemed as an acceptable coverage-level,
would no longer be allowed to 'Detail' at their premises until this so-called: "insurance-situation"...was remedied.

A "new word of the day" for 07.31.2012 ( seven months of '12 gone already...:wow:...):
Forfend
Definition:
1.) Forbid
2.) Ward-off
3.) Prevent
4.) Protect
5.) Preserve
-It seems to be widely accepted by Detailers, that LSP’s (whether they be Waxes, Hybrid-Waxes, Sealants, and/or Coatings)
will act as a bulwark to forfend the vehicles’ top-coat paint-film from the assailment of UV-rays and other:
Insidious; invidious; and, even perhaps, perfidious contaminates.

A "new word of the day" for the first day of August, 2012:
Embrittlement
Definition:
1. Reduction, or loss, of ductility or toughness in a metal or plastic
2. Easy to be broken, cracked, or snapped.
3. Make glass-like
-An AGO member's recent request for guidance on remedies to/for a customer's wheels that have "flaking chrome",
brought to mind a phenomenom called: Hydrogen Embrittlement
-Many, in the manufacturing processes of 'metals/metal-alloys', are very concerned about the introduction,
(and removal), of corrosive-natured-hydrogen...including the electroplating-processes of wheels; such as:
high-strength steel, aluminum/titanium alloyed wheels---even titanium fasteners utilized in 3-piece wheels...
which can seriously reduce ductility, load-bearing capacity, and cause cracking (brittleness) of many metals/alloys.
-Hopefully, this "flaking-chrome" on the wheels of this AGO member's customer,
is only the results of an improper, final chromium-electroplating process...
Not improper removal/expelling of hydrogen during the baking/heat-treating process of their manufacturer/vendors.
(Or, their QC Depts. not following the guidelines of several ASTM Standard Testing methods, as well.)
-I surely would hate to hear of any catastrophic failure events!!
BTW...An excellent read, for anyone so interested:
