    Can a newbie realistically apply Opti-coat?

    I applied 2.0 for the first time today. Overall it went smooth. I did have a few dime size "high spots" that I noticed when I pulled it in the sun. I used some PO85RD and knocked them down easily by hand. I did a halfway detailed write up and posted some pics here...

    I tried 3 new things...Dr Colorchip, jeweling my paint and Opticoat 2.0...

    Overall all three were a success. I started out with a pinnacle wash followed by zaino clay for the bad spots (around the wheels and front end) and sonus clay on the rest. I used wolfgang lube. When the claying was done I went onto DR Colorchip. My car had some road rash on the front...

    UV protection of OptiCoat 2.0 on carbon fiber

    I do plan on doing the whole car. I was wondering if I need to top the opticoat on the hood with something else to help fight uv rays. Carbon fiber will yellow and degrade over time with exposure to uv rays.

    I am going to attempt to "jewel" my paint tomorrow...any advice?

    So last year I bought PO85RD and a blue 5.5" LC smart pad. At the time I had read a thread on how to do this but cannot find this thread for anything. This is my final step before applying opticoat for the first time so I want to get the finish as good as I can.
