Preping finish for Opti-coat over Dupont sealant
I posted "Preping finish for Opti-coat over dupont sealant" and received a lot of negative comments about the effectiveness and durability of the Dupont protective coat (it has been on for seven months). In fact, it does work. Using a MB and BMW, I first poured water over the hoods and it sheeted and remained wet as expected. Then I washed them, and the water did the same thing. Then I used Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion. Despite whatever oils are in the product, the MB with the Dupont coating caused the water to sheet and runofff immediately, with little water remaining and no substantial beading. The BMW still sheeted and remained wet. The coating reacted exactly as Dupont said it would, as sheeting runoff is better than beading. This product lasts and thereby offers continuing protection.
