Opti Coat for headlights?

[96Lude]

For an idea of how durable it is please check out the extreme testing I did at the end of my review. There is also a Q&A with Dr. G. Of Optimum. This should answer some of your questions. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...ew-extreme-testing-opti-coat-2-0-cquartz.html

That is an awesome review you did, great work and thanks for having taken the time to put everything together, I'm sure it was not easy to do. rops:

...How does this coating work exactly, does it cross link and harden like clear coat? Is it really as permanent as a clear coat is?

Opti-Coat is based on a resin pre-polymer that we manufacture and once it is applied, it cross links and reacts with urethane and other clear coat paints to form a permanent film. Opti-Coat has better chemical resistance, scratch & mar resistance, and release properties than any automotive coating in use. Like a regular clear coat, Opti Coat lasts indefinitely unless it is removed by polishing, sanding, or paint removers.

How well will it bond to headlights, since the coating is often removed by sanding when they are being refinished?

You are stating the coating once applied and fully cured will not scratch as easily as clear coat?

Think of the coating AS a type of clear coat, but with better release properties and chemical resistance. It bonds to hard plastics very well.
