My first application of Opti-coat and couldn't have hoped for better results. Overall opinion on it is here: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...5328-first-time-applying-opti-coat-2-0-a.html

After the paint corrections were made, I went over the car with a 20% IPA mix. Wanting to be sure there were zero oils or residues left behind, I repeated the process twice after catching a few spots of polish that had dried to the car.

When it came time to apply the Opti-coat, I treated it like the Frank's Red Hot commercials: "I put that sh*t on everything."

Here's the results:

Looks great! What's the story with those two rides in the back? Both identical colors...Looks like a NSX...maybe??

Yes, one is a widebody NSX, the car in front is a late 60's Mustang... both beautiful cars and modified to the hilt.
 
Is that line on the hood a clear bra?
and did you go over the clear bra with the 105/205?
Because I swear, I'm trippin on how shiny that clear bra is!

P.S. Great work, the car looks amazing!
 
Nice work! What polisher did you use? I have a PC and was wondering if I would be able to use that pad and compound combo with my PC XP?
 
Only machine used was my Flex 3401. Thanks for the great comments, guys.

Yea it's a clear bra, it wasn't too bad to start with, but I was surprised at how well it reacted to 105/205. Looks much better than I was hoping.

more pics of NSX plaeseeee

Ummm ok :)
Here's the only pic I have without digging, this I after a quick wash an QD evening before a local Cars and Coffee meet

And a quick vid of it at idle while tuning. Didn't get any revs, because the noise is just..... No. People across the street 500 ft away were cupping their ears.

If the vid doesn't work lmk.
