Review: Optimum Gloss Coat

[cleanmycorolla]

Do you mean transferring it from the syringe to a finger pump sprayer?

Would that work?

Exactly, the OP used this method, how many sprays per panel would you estimate?

I transfered to a little 2oz sprayer I had that was unused. I applied it like Crystal Seal or UPGP, i didn't have any issues and I just feel a spray covers better. I did it with the original OptiCoat as well, just like using this method better, to each their own

Mr cleanmycorolla,

Thank you sir for the update, greatly appreciated as I am currently planning out a strategy for possibly employing Gloss-Coat in the future and information regarding its longevity are a significant factor.

Welcome back. Do you spray the applicator or the paint? What type of applicator are you using?

Both, well, i spray pad/applicator once to prime, then the paint is sprayed, I don't know if theres a right or wrong way, i just did what my gut thought was easiest for me!

Nice, DG makes great stuff, I remember people were stoked when it came out! 2 years is awesome life!

Try it, even if just a couple cc's may work better for you.

Thanks for the update.

No problem Guz!:xyxthumbs:

Hey Chris, I know it's been awhile since your last update on the gloss coat, but I'm wondering how it's currently holding up now that we're about a month away from it being a full 2 years since you applied it?

Is it still on the car? If you've only been doing rinseless/waterless washes on it and it hasn't been topped with anything, how would you rate the durability, dirt release, and looks currently?

Thanks!

FYI, its been almost 3 years and I just HAD to strip the remaining off yesterday. It was barely holding on, but the coatings characteristics still maintained.

Characteristics as in? That's good , 3 years and still working as it should?

 

[The Guz]

3 years is good considering you had used the 2 year formula. Thanks for the update.

well, its not like it was 100% great, most panels still showed beading characteristics and some gloss. some panels were further gone though.

yeah, i'd say 2.5 years. And probably the last 2-3 months it really started to show its death. now remember, i garage the car at night and most days at the office so its mostly covered and i wash it all the time.
