    Opti products

    It's about that time when I do a full detail on my cars. I am going to coat them with optigloss. Would it be OK to coat the entire car (including headlights and glass) or should I purchase the optiglass and optilens? I've used opticoat 2.0 on everything before but didn't know what changed...

    opticoat failing

    I applied opticoat 2.0 about 6 months ago and it is not beading anymore. I clayed, irox-x, compounded, and polished the car. I then wiped it down with eraser and washed it again with dawn soap.

    collinite on top of optiseal

    I put a coat of optiseal on top of my aunts car. I was going to top it tomorrow with Collinite 845. Would that work? Could I put another coat of optiseal and then collinite on the car? How long should I wait before topping?

    Glass sealant topping aquapel

    I have aquapel on my windshield and was wondering if I could put some glass sealant on top. Would that remove the remaining aquapel. You can tell there is still aquapel on the windshield but the beading has definitely faded.

    Spots on paint after wash and wax

    So my friend washed, clayed, and polished his car. The other day I washed it and waxed it with collinite for him. Now there are water markish streaks on the paint. I tried to wipe them off but they won't come off. Will I have to re-polish the car?
