Thanks for the update. I'm glad it turned out this way.

Use clay first and you've found a very fast and effective paint cleaner...but, GPS adds chemical cleaning to the mix and high gloss.

Don't wait between changing directions. You don't want to touch it unnecessarily as it drys. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

You should coat side to side seeing a trail behind the applicator...then top to bottom seeing a trail behind the applicator. Don't keep wiping because you are only applying the coating...not rubbing it in. Then when 80% of the area has flashed to clear (rainbow colors disappeared), lightly buff...

Just use several clean towels in one bucket and never return a dirty one to the bucket. No risk of marring from introduced dirt, no extra buckets, no grit guard, lots of less water wasted. Thanks to Garry Dean for simplifying wash technique with a little common sense. Sent from my iPad using...

I would not depend on a wipe down alone to remove oils/fillers in non Optimum polishes. Some are quite durable and can last for a month with normal washes. I would use a paint safe apc or degreaser and make sure all beading was killed during the rinse...then if you want to do a wipe down you...

We had some syringes over a year ago that could develop a leak and because they let some air in, sometimes the Opti Coat would yellow...but, even then the product still performed the same. Maybe we can go over your application step by step and find the issue. I have been Opti Coating cars since...

I don't use IPA at any dilution, but that's a personal choice because I don't like the lack of lubrication and I believe it could re-deposit what it loosens due to its fast flash time. The directions Optimum gives is to follow "Optimum" polishes with IPA pre coating and I am positive that is...

It's hard to say. Opti-Coat 2.0 takes longer to cross link and cure than Opti-Coat Pro and I wouldn't wash Opti-Coat Pro with a degreaser for a week or so. I don't really know what you could get by with. I suppose it would depend on dwell time and whether you agitated it or not. Sent from my...

So, you're an authorized Opti Coat Pro installer? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Most of my experience is with Opti-Coat Pro, but I have seen what looks like etch fade and disappear over about two weeks. It's been described as a surface stain vs etching. I'm not sure if that'll happen for you because the coating is the consumer version and hadn't been on long, but you can...

If you're going to dawn wash you won't need IPA. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Just remember that it's not a typical protection product...meaning, it won't haze to tell you when to wipe and you are just wiping it on not rubbing it in. Prime the applicator well enough to easily spread it across a section without thinning it too much. Then when 80-90% has flashed from a...

You can layer it without complications. If you see it reject the second coat after fully cured, a very light finish polishing will be enough to make the second coat stick.

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr David Ghodoussi. He showed himself early on as a intelligent, helpful and honest person. Since then my respect and appreciation has only increased and I'm very fortunate to have him as a friend and colleague. Please help me to wish him a blessed...
