Good morning. In a few weeks I am going down to my buddies on Saturday and we will be polishing and applying cquartz. I have read conflicting posts saying it would be ok to drive in rain after an hour, while others say I would need to wait the full 48. Is there anyone with experience on...

You are on Vortex right? I think I have seen your build thread. *2011 GTI Autobahn DSG - CSG in PA

Because of the way some of the coatings work, some allow for a "topper" to stay on longer. Where as if you top OC with some spray wax or sealant, it doesn't bond well with the OC and will only last a very short time. Also the looks of the coatings can vary too. But assuming in a production...

I have quite a few of their products and I think they are okay for the most part. Their products can be quite hit or miss. Silk Shine - I use this on the interior and it lasts for about a month, doesnt seem to attract dust. Glossworkz Shampoo - It's okay. I dont think it is worth the price...

@Critical - It is a MKVI GTI. Good look! @ZMC - I haven't tried anything yet. I didn't want to go out and buy a bunch of products to have them not work and then sit on my shelf forever!

Hey everyone. I have a vehicle that has some NASTY caked on carbon on the exhaust tips. I cant tell whats underneath so I don't quite want to go to steel wool just let. I don't think APC will dissolve all of that, but maybe you guys know better. I was thinking about getting some Brasso OTC...

Thanks for all of the info and ideas. @Detailing - I was speaking of the Sealact solution. I just didnt remember the name correctly.

Hey guys. General question here. If I have a few chips the size of pencil erasers and use either Dr. Colorchip or oem touch up, could I just use a PC and a light polish on a white pad to level down the glob? Or would it still be recommended to use the sealant in the Colorchip kit? I ask this...

Hey guys. I am going to Opti Coat my car (2nd time doing it) and I was looking on recommendations for a QD or a QW to use after washes. Only really looking for about a week worth of slickness since I do weekly washes and looking to spend 20-40 max on a gallon of said product. I know these are...

Ahh so cute! I have a 9 month old red sesame.

off topic, but is that a black and tan shiba inu?

It was alright. It was my DD so it still needed claying after about a year and I actually had some rail dust stick to the OC as well. For maintenance I just did washes, nothing special. I would recommend getting some Iron-X and using that every 6 mo or so as well as feeling if it needs clay.

I can still take the top off and get product out.

Hey guys, two years ago-ish I did my VW GLI with Opti-Coat. I used two applications and this is how much I have remaining: Is this enough to do a 2013 Lancer Evolution X? I would like to do two applications again, however I am unsure if I have enough. Thanks pros!

Emailed, thanks!

Hey everyone. I just purchased a 2013 Lancer Evolution and I am looking for a detailer that is willing to apply Opti-Coat to my wheels. I have a half of a syringe of Opti-Coat but do not have the patience or tools to get the wheels off and coated and retorqued properly. I am willing to...

I don't use anything over Opti-Coat because it negates the properties of the OC and it also will only "stick" for a week or less before it is gone. I did notice that you will still need to clay Opti-Coat. I used to work near some train tracks and I got debris on the car that doesn't come off...

poli-seal is what I meant in my first post :xyxthumbs: thanks for the catch.

I read you can clean opti coat with opti seal but I don't have any and it's not OTC. Can I use a cleaner wax by hand or red finishing pad to clean OC instead of opti seal? Thanks guys!
