I just used cquartz for the first time on my vehicle, my last car had opticoat. It looks great and was easy to apply. However it was a pain to remove, it flashed too quickly for me. I couldn't let it go more than 2 minutes before it was a streaky mess. The look is super wet and deep, much...

IronX is the better choice. It's safer and how often will you really need wheel brightener? I bet not often enough to need that gallon size that gets diluted 1:4. Sent from my Note 3

I have a metallic white car and it needs to be done every 1-2 months. I do it that often because you can see the iron particles on the back of the car and it bothers me. If you let it dry on the paint I'd imagine the purple from the iron might stain the paint. Sent from my Moto X

Hey, I never said it was done for free. :buffing:

My friend asked me to do some work on his Wrangler and get it nice and shiny. The car sits outside 24/7 and may have been washed less than 5x since new, certainly not in the last few years. I had to do this in 3 stages, due to limited time on his end. First I prepped the car, then polished...

Top Gear just said they put 40 kg of paint on a car, so it wouldn't surprise me. Sent from my Moto X

I've only had opti coat on my car for a few months now and I can definitely see a difference from when it was fresh applied. Sometimes the water doesn't bead or sheet well on my horizontal panels, a quick clay and it comes back. Not as strong as it first was tough. I was expecting the...

Moto X is assembled in the US. I think that's as close as you'll get. Sent from my Moto X

Opti-coat and before that Opti-Seal. Sent from my Moto X

I always cringe at the multi hundred thousand dollar cars that have terrible paint during that show. I may see a handful on TV during the weekend that have quality detailing done. Sent from my Moto X

I have a '13 Focus, it's metallic white. I have to hit the back hatch with ironX once a month. There's tons of visible iron contamination after that amount of time. The rest of the cat barely gets any. I just opti-coated the car, so I'm hoping that will cut down on the accumulation Sent from...

It's regarded as one of the best by many. I currently use a lot of Megs APC and will try it when I'm out. But they will be a while since Megs dilutes 1:10 Sent from my Moto X

IMO almost everything they make is for well maintained vehicles and the strength is appropriate for those vehicles. You won't get very far on a vehicle that needs even a medium level of cleaning. Sent from my Moto X

Meg's apc and a mother's brush to clean and armor all tire foam to dress. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

The darker the paint color the harder it is to see it working. On cars that aren't white you can see it make purple puddles on the ground where it drips off. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

If they are the stock rims they are painted and clear coated. It's possible that they were not cool when you cleaned them or the cleaner was left to dwell way too long. Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

Mine needs to be shaken every time I use it. I haven't timed how long it takes to settle but one shake will last the time it takes me to get to all the spots on the car that need it Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

GPS and Poli-Seal will leave protection behind that you will have to remove to get proper OC bonding. I'd use something like optimum polish.

I had an interior on a friends corvette look exactly like that. His son had just driven it down to FL from MA. The whole interior looked like he had been sanding spackle in the car the entire way down. The whole interior was covered in a white dust. Nothing that couldn't be fixed, but it took a...

I just do it to ensure full coverage. I do know that it has been the most impressive paint sealant I have used. Between the durability, look, and continued slickness, what more could one want? I guess it could be free ;)
