    no more optimum for me, alternatives?

    I completely agree with you on the name changes. But like I said, it's been more than a year since they ditched OC 2.0 and replaced it Gloss-Coat. As a business owner, I don't buy the excuse that he's not had ample time to fix his advertising.

    no more optimum for me, alternatives?

    Quick to judge? If this were concerning Finest, I doubt you'd be so acceptable of this guys practices & excuses. Look, as an OCP installer myself I am admittedly biased to this guy falsely advertising Opti-Coat. But it's guys like him that make it harder for any pro coating installers like...

    no more optimum for me, alternatives?

    Ok, how does false advertising work for you instead? He's had a year to update it, if not more. The responsibility to advertise his services correctly is on him, NOT Optimum. Period. Yes, I agree OPT didn't choose wisely with the original naming scheme. Doesn't change anything in this...

    no more optimum for me, alternatives?

    I'm really confused here. You say you don't know what Gloss-Coat is and that you buy Opti-Coat from AutoGeek. But that doesn't add up because Gloss-Coat was introduced over a year ago (I believe) and it replaced Opti-Coat 2.0. If you have ordered an Optimum coating in the last year, you would...

    Clear bra removal, tips?

    I just removed film from a 10 year old Porsche for the first time. Pick at the film until you can grab it with your fingers. Instead of "pulling back" like you would with masking tape, "pull forward". Basically what you're wanting to do is stretch the film like you're trying to re-apply it to...

    What one step?

    While it's a nice product to use and results are good, I found it hard to wipe off compared to other AIO's.

    Which "Non Pro" Coating offers the most for a small business?

    Why are you not considering Optimum's replacement for 2.0, Gloss-Coat? GC might cost a little more but I don't how know it could be any easier to apply. And the results are phenomenal. After using it once, there was no reason for me to try anything else. Of course, I am a quality > cheap price...

    Feel like my detailing skills are plateauing - Looking for a boost

    Mark - I just finished reading a book called Customers for Life by Carl Sewell. Easy but worthwhile read. I highly suggest it. I would bet that your detail skills are so good that your ROI into a small improvement would be negligible. On the other hand, improving business/customer service...

    Coating Prep: IPA vs CarPro vs Paint Cleaner

    I'll second this one (edit, I'll third it). I picked up a gallon of it at my local Napa. I'll never go back to Iso, Eraser, etc.
