Opti-Coat COMPLETED! 3rd polishing in two months...... Hopefully the last for ~2 years+ I love this stuff. First time user and had very little trouble (lots of practice applying Ultima polymer products). It was a little harder to screw up than I thought it would be (I didn't have to redo any...

Unbelievable.

Opti-coat 2.0 Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Carpro Iron-X Flex dual action Foam cannon Awesome idea to gain some marketing info (or just excite the forum a bit). Thank you.

Re: 1 week, 1 rain later... Etching AGAIN No sprinkler, just a fair amount of dust + indiana rain (not known for higher than usual acidity). Ordered Opti-coat 2.0 after many recommendations from users in my region and everything I have read. It's going on as soon as I have time to...

First, when they say 2 ounces.... Yes perhaps for a full size van. I use about 0.5 ounces per compact sedan. Second, try using some additional product (the spray applications is a great method) to wipe off the first coat if you have let it dry to a haze. This is the only way I've found to...

Any chance of a 1.5 year update? Thank you for the awesome work. Joel

1 week, 1 rain later... Etching AGAIN Well, it's happened again: almost identical type 2 water etching over the entire car, but mostly the hood. I've lived in Bloomington for 3 years and this never used to happen! I believe this is the result of calcium / magnesium carbonates from dust...

Prepare for some extensive time with a rotary and large (~8-10") very high quality wool pad. An aggressive cut compound followed by a light-moderate cut should leave a near-perfect finish even with wool. I just completed a 21.5' 8.5' beam fiberglass that needed moderate oxidation removal and...

I've been using Ultima Paint Guard Plus since January on 6 vehicles. Durability is good, but IMO not up to a really tough wax like Collinite 845. However, that really doesn't matter because the beauty of WOWA products like UPGP is that you can reapply them after a wash in just minutes with...

:iagree:I have to second that. I want extreme hydrophobicity and the lowest surface tension possible in an LSP formulation. For a daily driver, this seems like a no-brainer. Add some real UV protection and make the product at least reasonably durable and I will be even happier. Thank you...

Second this. Some products have a way of showing their heavy areas much more than others after a cure. I agree with most other comments here. Put the car in the sun and examine. Go back over with a WOWO product like a spray wax to smooth any remaining heavy areas you didn't notice.

Update: My friend brought my PC back and I went to work with Megs ultimate polish. It took 5-6 passes at speed 5 with a soft(er) orange pad to eliminate the damage. I finished with 3 additional passes with very light pressure. I then applied 2 coat klasses SG as before, but followed with...

Yes, either acid or just intense temperature differences across the wet/dry paint surfaces. I really don't know enough about the mechanics or chemistry of this type of damage. When I look very closely at the spots on the hood (not visible from pics), the edges of the water spots are obviously...

Lots of rain and lots of sun. There is a lot of construction near my house, so it could have been raining cement particles or who knows what. The density of the spots is about 1/4 of that photo from Mike, but they are everywhere on the horizontal surfaces.
