So, I was trying to find the "end-all" thread that would answer this question, but I came up empty, so help me out: If you apply Opti-coat to a brand new car, does it really last for the lifetime of the car, and you will NEVER have to wax your car ever again? Does it really perform like that...

Yes, it is as bad as it looks. I was trying to help a friend out with his Benz, and also learn about single-stage paint and how to work with it (I'm just a rookie - detailing is just a hobby). Yes, M80 and M07 need to be wiped off wet...I found that out the hard way... Never got a chance to...

Yeah, I don't have the means to take them off either. So assuming that I am not taking them off, is it Ok to just wax the parts you can reach, and not behind the spokes?

I have wheels like this on my acura tl: And I was wondering...when you wax/seal them, do you apply the wax to just the outer edges of the wheel, or do you need to reach your hand all the way back into the wheel and wax all the parts that you can reach? I've never owned a car with "open"...

On a fully corrected car? Or is it not worth it? I don't have much experience with glazes. The only one I've ever used is Megs #7, and it has never wowed me on newer clear coat paint (I know it's best used on SS paint). I'm looking for a definite visual difference in gloss, like you can't...

What a beautiful wet look you got. That's awesome! The black is soo wet-looking. And you can even see the reflection of that tower in the hood of the Porsche. If it makes silver look that good, I'm sure it will make my dark grey look great!

For some reason they still didn't go through...

That makes sense. I wish your pics would have come out. I would have liked to see them!

Not to hijack the OP's thread, but I have a couple of questions on this topic: 1. Do you really need a third wax (like Pete's 53) with the BL + V7 combo to get that extra pop, or does the BL V7 work just as well without another wax in the mix? I'm looking to get that "can't stop looking at...

How long of durability would you say that you get from the blacklight + nuba + V7 combo? Does the effect of the glaze (blacklight) wash off after like 3-4 washes? Or does the awesome look that you get from this combo stay on the vehicle for a while? Just wondering because I've heard that the...

Good point...maybe it doesn't need polycharging. I think OCW is one of the most durable spray waxes out there, if not the most durable... Does anyone know if they make any spray waxes that have polycharger in them already, or do you always have to add it yourself?

I've been reading how polycharger gives spray waxes greater durability, and I was wondering which spray waxes have it in them. And specifically, does OCW have it in their latest formula? Just wondering...

Thanks everyone. I thought the small brush looked too harsh myself, but I wanted to be sure. I do have a horse hair brush that I will use for the leather instead of this one.

Hello everyone, I see that this brush is recommended for cleaning leather seats: From the forum members that have used it, can you tell me if the brush really works well for cleaning, and is not too harsh on the leather seats? I'm wondering if it will scuff the leather or take off any of...

I too noticed that 1Z specifically states that it's good on coated leather, and I like that. I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that AG gets the product descriptions for the products they sell directly from the manufacturer, and that they don't write up a description on the products. So, I...

Which one would you recommend? This is for a 2005 Acura TL. And is there a list somewhere of the leather cleaner/protectants that AG sells that are specifically for coated leather? Some of the descriptions don't really tell you if it's for real or coated leather. So confused about all the...

I have been wondering about the best cleaner/protectant system for older (2005) Acura leather. I've been using Opt power clean to clean the seats (at the 3:1 dilution), then applying Lexol. But, I saw in a post above said that Acura recommends water based protectants for leather seats. Does...

Thanks everyone for your advice. I have 845, so I'll definitely use it as my LSP. The car is a dark blue, and the owner believes that it has been re-painted. To me the paint job looks cheap and crappy...that's why I want to do all the work by hand. And since I don't have a paint thickness...
