    Opti Coat 2.0 layering time

    Here is the original post to answer / rehash the topic. The main benefit and really only gain is a thicker layer for protection but we are talking micons (1-2.5) thick so it is questionable the end benefit. However, if your goal is the thickest layer go for it, I've never had a problem...

    Opti Coat 2.0 layering time

    After 12 hours and before 30 days is a the official word. However, I think 48 hours is about ideal and I would not second coat after two weeks. You are working with the resin drying time (takes around 30 days to fully dry/harden), once the first coat fully hardens the second coat will not...

    No evidence of waxes or sealants adhering after a few weeks

    What are you washing the car with? Some detergents will strip waxes and sealants. Are you taking the car through automatic car washes?

    Still skeptical about Opti-coat...please help straighten me out!

    :iagree: LOL, yea the birds did some great bombs (parked under a power line) they had obviously been eating a high fiber diet. I sprayed distilled water on one of them before wiping off with a microfiber cloth, when I noticed the "cake" lifted and slid right off. So what the heck, pluck! The...

    Still skeptical about Opti-coat...please help straighten me out!

    Brand new car. Just do it. Look at the number of positive reviews. I was skeptical at first and applied Opti Coat 2.0 only to the roof and rims. Four months later I wish I had applied it to the whole car. I would recommend doing two layers 48 hours apart. Three or more layers and you'll start...

    Gtechniq....unboxing and test

    The Gtechniq finish looks great. EXO will really knock your socks off. It leaves the best tactile feel of any sealant. One giant word of caution though with EXO. Last week I had an emergency engagement that I didn't have time for a full detail wash at home. So I headed to the local touch less...

    gtechniq C1 hazing - help please

    Sounds like you let it stay on too long before wiping off excess. Polish it off. Apply C1 and then buff with-in five minutes. Since you are applying EXO check out this thread with an issue of EXO and C1 hazing...

    Need Help! Flash Site--Should I convert to HTML5?

    Easy, YES! All Apple products and Google Andriod do not support Flash anymore. A good portion of the market use theese devices for basic internet research. Even Adobe, the current owner of Flash has admited that internet plug-in Flash is dead.

    Klasse Sealant Glaze..

    To reapply clean, just polish Klasse All In One to remove the previous Klasse layers and dirt built up on the paint. Then apply fresh Klasse Sealant.

    Klasse Sealant Glaze..

    Klasse should last longer than six months closer to eight to a year, however I've noticed that shine takes a beating (for me at least non garaged). Just playing with Nanoskin Hydro Express to see if it would give a pop to old Klasse and WOW! The car shined as much as the day I originally...

    nanoskin

    Most people would put it in the category of market changing. It is everything that cardaddy mentioned. Just stick to the fine pad unless you're working on neglected beaters. You might still wind up with some spots needing claying but it eliminates at least 95% of the work. Just do a forum...

    Gtechniq C2 v3

    Streaks and high spots are a common problem with C2v3. I bought a big bottle of the stuff before finding out. If you get a good mix ratio please let me know.

    Weird clearcoat/orange peel on my car

    Copied from the glossary at Autobodystory, "Die-Back - The gradual loss of gloss due to continued evaporation of solvent after the paint work is finished. This problem was a big problem in paint jobs that used paints that had a large percentage of solvent trapped below the surface. Lacquer is...

    Gtechniq C2 v3

    Dilute C2v3 two parts distilled water to one part C2v3. They (autogeek instructions) refer to it as a drying aid but really you can interchange quick detailer for terminology. I do not know the shelf life once diluted so I would only mix up what you need to use. Let us know how it works out or...

    Weird clearcoat/orange peel on my car

    From my limited paint experience, it looks like the paint did not adhere correctly due to poor surface preparation (and or lack of) like wet sanding before painting, causing the paint to ripple up. There might be a chance that some of it will start to bubble and come off. Take it to a...

    Review: Dodo Juice Supernatural Infinity Nano Paint Sealant

    Are you sure it's the same product? C1 was easier to apply than what was mentioned and there definitely was not any bubbling issues. EXOv2 was by far the easiest. Thank you for the thorough review!
