I have zero desire to use any of these coatings on paint, only headlights.

Me too Mark!!I have zero desire to use any of these coatings on paint, only headlights.
I thought this was simply a pre-polymer resin?
I mean here it is in Chris's own words: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/35722-opti-coat-headlights-3.html#post467736

I just read through my Q&A with David and saw that in one of the answers he mentions that OC makes ceramic bonds....
Who, or what, determines the qualifications of any particular verbalism to become the latest "Buzz Words"?
Interesting thread ... I was getting a oil change yesterday at the dealer and he noticed my truck and logos and asked if I detailed... I told him yes blah blah blah and then went on to "what do you charge for my wife's car she never washes it blah blah blah" ... I went on to explain what a benefit CQuartz is and we went online here and read up on it and what a benefit it would be and he explained it was a new car and that any permanent coating added to the clear coat would compromise the warranty ... MY JAW DROPPED
So now what!?!?!? What's the comeback? Obviously if this voided the manufactures warranty no one would want this on there cars ....
So again ... Now what?
While it was made possible in the 80's ... Nano tech in commercial applications is relatively new I think....since the early 2000's. It's use in our application is relatively new it's been available overseas for a few years.

Interesting what automotive products are listed here that claim to be nanotech-products, as well as what is not listed
Maintenance & Accessories • Automotive • Nanotechnology Project]
In their consumer products inventory there are currently 1317 products, produced by 587 companies, located in 30 countries.

If you recall an article I posted on here 2 or 3 years ago it talked about a nano tech spray on glass product that would revolutionize the world.
A nano-tech glass product is listed on the above site.

Of course the huge companies that sell you bleach, pinesol, and every other cleaner that makes BILLIONS per year try's to slow the growth and applications of this technology.
Formulating true nano-tech products is an expensive proposition....Some of these huge companies have the capital, but a country's nanotechnology oversight committees have nanotechnology's health & safety concerns that does impede nano-tech's products' faster growth rate.

Wikipedia has some info on what is considered nanotechnology in the definition we are discussing.
Most importantly, I think these new coatings like Opti-Coat/Guard are revolutionary to our business. By offering these type of products to our clients we are in a sense offing them a renewable clear coat, but with much better properties (better scratch and Mar resistance, better release properties, better UV resistance, better gloss retention...). I've been using this information to help sell Opti-Coat to my clients for a while now, especially the ones with new cars sporting very thin OEM paints (Infiniti's with 80-90 microns). I don't really try to sell it as a permanent coating so much, rather I simply highlight the attributes above and let them know that when it does come time for polishing again, we will be removing less OEM paint, and we will be adding in more UV protection to replenish whatever we may have removed.
I don't feel waxes or sealants are dead at all as they will always have their place, but I do feel there will definitely be a shift in use towards coatings the more people learn about them and realize the benefits they offer.
A quote from a post I made on another forum....

If you recall an article I posted on here 2 or 3 years ago it talked about a nano tech spray on glass product that would revolutionize the world. They were using it on the front of bullet trains and theorizing on using it on clothing and just about everything you can imagine. The article said that within a few years when you purchased something it would already be coated with this product. In Europe and Asia they were already using these products.
In testing they found that if you coated your kitchen countertops (or anything else for that matter) a simple microfiber towel with water would remove and bacteria much easier and completely than using the harsh chemicals many people use on regular countertops and surfaces. This nano tech glass layer disables the ability of bacteria to replicate on it's surface so there is much less bacteria and the mf of course easily removes anything that is since the bacteria can not permeate or hold on to the surface.

The coatings are so good and durable now! I get a glass like finish like a sealant with the coattings Ive tried. The hydrophobic qualities of them are unrivalled by any sealant I have tried! When you top a coating with ReLoad, Permanon or G|Techniq C2, dust blows off at 40 mph! Dirt/dust on my Expedition has reduced by a factorr of 3 or more. A water hose gets my vehicles 90+% clean. The MasterBlaster blows off the water that gravity doesnt clear and that aint much! I can do rinseless when I used to do 2 buckets and waterless when I used to do rinseless. I dont need Aquapel anymore! I have been tempted to try a Spray Wax or sealant but dont when I think about dust free @40 mph! I know some will call me a heretic but I gave my beauty waxes to a dear friend! I have no use for the dust it attracts! I have embraced the technology of the 21st centtury!Sealants are so 20th century and waxes are so 19th! Oh and I forgot coatings are harder than clear and much more marr resistant! So I ask, 'Are Sealants dead?'
Let us know what you think and why?

Corey are you saying we have yet to scratch the surface of this technology and The Sky is the Limit! Pun intended!
