    Flimsy optimum hyper polish ii spray trigger

    Does anyone else have this problem? And despite it being screwed on properly, product still leaks. Such a shame given how quality all their other products are.

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    Hi!! Just wanted to update everyone on my progress. Wetsanded with 2500 and 3000 grit sandpaper then polished with orange LC light cutting pad then white polishing pad, both with optimum polish ii. The process did seem to remove some of the opti gloss coat as the area I worked on did not feel...

    Gloss Coat Cure Time

    https://www.zas.com.au/product/717/optimum_gloss-coat_10cc.html This is the mobile version of the site I purchased it from. My apologies, it's 6 hours until it can get wet but I waited 12 hours just to be safe. Not sure how accurate this website is or where they got their info from though.

    Gloss Coat Cure Time

    I was told at purchase to allow 12 hours before letting the car get wet. And 7 days to let the coating cure to full chemical strength. No strong soaps or chemical until then.

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    Oh? Gloss -Coat is layerable? Do you have any links for this builthatch? I've been trying to find info on this to no avail. It'd be such a waste to buy a 10cc syringe of the stuff just for a patch on the hood or even for the whole hood. I'd have thought if the coating was so slick the second...

    coating- 2weeks later, waxing

    Cheers, firecorgi. My understanding is that yes, you'd be able to apply waxes and sealants but dont expect them to have the same longevity as if they were on a non coated vehicle. I've seen several posts to this effect with opti-coat. Is there any thing to suggest this would/wouldnt be the...

    coating- 2weeks later, waxing

    As someone who is relatively new to detailing and with a plethora of products still itching to try out, part of me regrets putting opti gloss coat on my car. Don't get me wrong it works well. Prob just a little too well. Kind of takes away the fun of detailing. So many sealants and waxes and...

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    I believe you'd be able to tell as moisture and water will behave differently on the car once it's removed compared to when the coating is there since the hydrophobic layer is gone. (no more quick sheeting and tight beating) My question for bullit, or anyone else who may know is: if I were to...

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    Also, I just recalled a video from larry at ammo nyc when he sanded down stone chips by hole punching a small bit of sand paper and gluing that on the fat end of an eraser pencil and using that . That way you are only sanding down a very very small area. Might be helpful for others in my...

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    Thanks for that video mate. I can definitely see a discernible kind of patch that you're alluding to. Was that patch there just from the moisture of the opti clean or was that the paint finish it self? ie. I'm worried the area where the coating is removed by sanding and polishing will stand out...

    Repairing stone chips on opti gloss coat surface

    Greetings all. I have a opti gloss coated car which unfortunately suffered a couple of small stone chips. I've filled the chips with some touch up paint and put a coat of clear over it. However I'm now left with raised visible areas where the touch up was applied. After some research my plan...
