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...

Figured I would update this thread. So I have all the cabinets completed. All that is left are the doors! And I think I know what you mean by furring up. What I noticed is after the first coat of poly. The panels had a rough texture to it. I sanded it, and then applied the second coat, and...

Thanks for the warm wishes you guys. I turned 25! Can you believe that??? Im halfway to 50. Five years till 30. UGHHHHHHH haha

Can you feel it with your finger nail? The pictures of the pewter car is mine. Its my spoiler. I cannot feel anything, its smooth. I would also like to note that it has not got any worse since I posted them(like 2 years ago-ish maybe?) and nothing has peeled off or anything like that. Its very...

I dunno man. I have had 3 sets of tires on my car; this set is #4 and this is the first time its happened. Ive done my brothers car on all three sets of tires he has had(no problems) and my moms two sets of tires(no problems). It was a mix of brands too: my car - nexen, yokohama, dunlop...

Couldn't really tell to be honest. It had rained a few days before, so the water washed off most of the shine. I honestly didn't pay attention as after I did it I went straight to the paint. I will have to see how much grime comes off on the next wash. With my old brush and tires, a...

So I got new tires recently (Nitto Motivo) and I washed my car yesterday and wanted to remove their tire shine and I noticed after doing the first tire with my stiff bristled tire brush, it actually left marks on the side wall. WHAT!????? I have never seen this before. I have used this...

Not fixable shy of a full repaint. Not sure what model or year of car that is, but I don't think its worth doing unless they earl scheib it for a few hundred. A professional job at a proper collision and paint center will cost a couple thousand.

How old is your tube? This is quite interesting if yours is as old as mine. I don't remember exactly, but its been atleast 2 years. Im in sandiego. It rarely gets cold and I ALWAYS sealed the cap tight.

Has that bubble been in there for a year? Anyways, in other news, I squirted it out on the concrete outside to see what happens for fun. After it was all out, I could see the chunky bits. They weren't hard, they seemed to have a rubbery consistency.

I beg to differ on the beading part. Though I guess it depends on your definition of beading. I have had my car coated for about 2 years now, and it barely beads. I have already attempted to rejuvenate it in the past by claying and using a paint cleaner many times and its unfixable; Ive given up...

Well I did just lose 20 dollars worth of product. I only used 75% of it.

Darn. I have always made it a point to get out as much air as possible, but there always seems to be a bubble.. Perhaps air is seeping in somehow.. I dunno. Oh well. Guess I will toss it. :( The instructions on the syringe don't mention anything about getting rid of the air. I always tried...

In the garage in its cardboard box in a cupboard. Last time I used it was around 8 months Id guess, and at the time, it was starting to become hazy, no chunks though..

Lmfao so true.

99% bottle of megs ultimate polish 70-80%+ Megs Mirrow Glaze#5 75% full spray bottle of Megs wheel brightener Currently looking for some opti-lense and spray waxes that wont discolor plastic.

Yeah I don't know either. I never liked this tube to begin with. Had many issues in the past getting it to stick to panels. I coated my whole car, and only a couple of the panels still show beading properties. The water does come off easily, so there is something there. But no matter how much I...

Ive had this tube of opticoat for around 2 years now and I just pulled it out to use it again to coat my headlights and it has a bunch of chunks in it and its hazy! Does this stuff have a shelf life? I didn't know this could happen. Would it be fine to use still or should I just throw it out...

Figured I would update this. I ended up just sanding it even more, but with very little pressure. Some areas where I believe it was thicker ended up turning white from shaving those layers, but after applying the second coat of poly, I was delighted to see that it filled in and covered the white...
