I'm sorry you didn't get a timely reply on the forum. There is a full description and directions in the store section. Those replies are from Dr. G (the chemist who makes the coatings and CEO of OPT)...so they are dead on. Thanks for sharing the info here. It will be more readily available as...

Wow. Too much guesswork in that thread

Hard plastics are fine to Opti-Coat. But they are very porous compared to paint. If multiple layers were not added its likely that that Opti-Coat is there and the Dlux was able to penetrate into the pores. Not through the coating though. Opti-Coat flashes too quickly to do much penetration so...

Polish is the minimum prep. Yes you can layer.

Opti Coat will add all the attributes to lenses that it does to paint. But, polycarbonate needs a little more from a coating than paint to be "Optimized" Opti-Lens is a hybrid coating based on Opti Coat. We added acrylic for flexibility due to the constant expanding and contracting and...

I agree that Opti Coat isn't for everyone, but consider this: those who like to use their car as a test bed and those who find waxing therapeutic can still benefit from Opti Coat. Most toppers will stay on for about a month so you can tell if you like the look and feel it adds without committing...

That's the beauty Opti Coat...you can wash with whatever you like. Strong washes won't remove it. So, you can use No Rinse Wash & Shine or No Rinse Wash & Wax to maintain a nice gloss or do heavy cleaning with Dawn or Power Clean.

It works well as a clay lube.

a water dampened microfiber will fix streaks with OID or OCW with ease. It just levels the polymers/wax in the overapplication area.

You're about to endure a test of patience. Use the softest pad you have and don't work Finish till it's dry (remove it while it's still a little wet). Long nap super soft MF to remove. Richard Lin of Show Car Detailing may have some advice for you. I just helped him with an Opti Coat Pro...

You can use up to 8oz per gallon to make a quick detailer. For best results use distillers or RO water.

Yes it will adhere and it will withstand the temps. While you will still need some agitation when cleaning, the amount of pressure and the strength of the cleaner can be greatly reduced. I only need ONR or Optimum Car Wash to keep my wheels and calipers clean since coating them. The coating...

Opti Coat is a ceramic (non organic) clear coating formed as silicon carbide. It is very hard, looks very clean, and is permanent like your factory clear in that it has to be abraded to be removed. Due to its strong bond and non pourous properties it is very resistant to acids and chemical...

It will be okay if you allow the clear to cure first.

My YouTube channel is ChrisAtOptimum. I have a few different videos on application. The one he mentioned is on a red Viper. I'm glad to help. When you're ready email me [email protected] I answered it in the thread so it would benefit others with the same question.

If the carbon fiber is clear coated use Opti Coat. If not wait for Opti Lens To be released and use that instead. Opti Lens has high levels of UV inhibitors and will work on that surface as well as polycarbonate.

I think the grabby feel is easily fixed by adjusting the way you hold it like I've mentioned and the pressure we apply with clay isn't necessary...so, tweaking your technique will go along way to enjoying the Opti Eraser. I love it for sprucing up Opti Coat every few months. The products may...

Another solution is to pour off the thin liquid and add it back slowly while shaking. GPS doesn't have this issue and newer product shouldn't we're rate easily. All the polishes have been updated as well.

You can top Opti Coat with anything you like. The most bang for the buck is Optimum Spray Wax. Also, anything will stay on for a time...but due to the non-porous nature of Opti Coat, typical longevity will be reduced to a few weeks tops. Opti Coat doesn't need to be topped or boosted as is...

Thank you for your review. Sounds like you and Opti Coat are a good fit.
