I have a few questions about applying OptiCoat 2.0. Some of you may have seen a thread I posted looking for an Opti Coat Pro installer, but I decided to put my man pants on and try using OC myself. The car is a silver Prius. My questions are - 1) I used around 8-9 CC of OC only, doing all...

They're factory mats. I dunno, I was thinking with something like a steamcleaner it might get them looking near new again.

They're rubber, not carpet. I tried CG All Clean + Citrus at full strength and it didn't do the trick. They hadn't been cleaned in years.

I have some gray all weather floormats that are not completely gray any longer. They're covered in stains and in some cases mold (had a leak in the car that put water underneath the mat). Will a hot water extractor rented from Home Depot do anything to clean these? I'm thinking it will take...

I'd like to try a product like GPS to do very light swirl removal and lay down a sealant at the same time (for cars that don't need/owners that don't want to pay for a full correction/seal/wax). My concern is will GPS play nice with my beloved 845? Ever since I tried Collinite every car I do...

I answered my own question. You sort of have to do it to understand it I guess. So I used about 3 oz of each which was way more than needed for a pair of headlights. Probably could get away with 1/2 oz of each. Here's my before & after. I'm a believer. I really want to try opticoat but I'm...

Attention fans of spar- How much do you mix to do two headlights? Do you just use a small dixi cup or something?

Cool. Are you guys doing the polishing by machine or by hand? I have a GG6 so the 5.5" pads would leave gobs of polish in the cracks but I am looking for an excuse to order a GG3...

My 2003 Mazda 6 has black trim on the B pillars. It's showing some age. I tried some OTC trim junk once and it washed onto the paint when it rained. How can I permanently correct this?

What is the difference between OptiCoat 2.0 and OptiCoat Pro?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My next purchase is going to be some Collinite to prep for winter, though I'll probably go with 845 since I also have a light silver car. As normally happens, I took my car out of the garage today and what do you know, it rained. Lemonade from lemons I said, as I took the opportunity to snap...

Thanks guys! It's an unbelievable tool for $140. Highly recommended! :props:

I got my new GG6 yesterday and went straight to polishing my CR-Z. It was in really good shape, just had some light swirls and scratches from (my) improper washing technique. Wash: CG Citrus Wash & Gloss (1 oz per gallon to strip old wax) Clay: Meguiar's Polish: Meg's M205 on white LC pad...

I called them up and they wouldn't help me out. They claimed the first gen is nearly identical to the 2nd & 3rd gen models. Which they have to do. I can't fault them. They offered to take a look at it and either repair or replace it if it wasn't working correctly, but I know it's working as...
