Opti-Coat, any one try yet?


Recommended Posts

Looks great (again) Foto!  Great set of photos to show off the Opticoat / beautiful new C-Max Energi.  Double kudos ( :worship:  :worship: ) for the effort to do both C-Maxes in their first days.  Still loving our Opti, although with low miles we have not given it much of a test.  Washed ours yesterday (easy peasy), then washed our Eurovan, then looked at the break dust on the BMW and gave up - I hate brake dust & wheel cleaning.   Nick

fotomoto, the car looks super.  Keep us abreast of how "it" performs, like bug, bird poop, sap, and tar removal and water beading, water spots, general ease to clean and the like.  

 

Here's a 14 month update.  It still looks GREAT and beads water just like a freshly waxed car.  Besides not having to do repeated, periodic traditional work (waxing, clay bar, etc), I don't see any swirl marks in the clear coat.   Bird dropping aren't causing any etching type marks (I do try to wash every week, two weeks max).   

 

Pics are from last nights wash.

Even the trim and windows were treated and still bead up well.  The trim has never had other treatment products applied (amor-all or similar).

Paint is still clear and void of etchings from bird drops, water deposits, or swirl marks.

Bottom line:  Thumbs up and I'll do this to every new car until something better comes along.  It was the first thing I did to my NRG.
