    Opti Coat 2.0 question

    Is one 1 box of this stuff enough to do a 4 door sedan and its wheels?

    It should be 20cc and you should have no issues doing a medium sized sedan and the wheels with that. The last car I did was a Subaru wrx wagon with a little over 10cc including the face of the wheels.

    Re: Opti Coat 2.0 question

    So I put Opti Coat on my paint and wheels. It was surprisingly easy! and looks great. Question though, for maintenance and improve gloss/shine do I NEED to use Optimum Instant Detailer or will any quick detailer do? I also dont want to decrease durability using the wrong products on it

    no product, except polishes will hurt the opti coat, any qd will be fine.
    Back to the full-time grind.

    I must say, I think I might not be going back to wax ever again. This stuff is pretty awesome!

    If it looks great...why are you already wanting to improve upon its gloss/shine?

    I would also be concerned about changing it's other characteristics...
    Especially before it has had time to totally cure!

    Who are you trying to kid...
    You are already wanting to use QDs. LOL!

    Like most, I am always in search of the "holy Grail" shine or if it could get better, and keeping the shine . Even yourself, Im sure your happy with your results , but come on the forums to see if it could get just a little better. I will wait 1 month before anything will touch the paint as directed by Optimum
