Humidity will make it haze some but not look oily. Wiping a little sooner will fix a humidity issue. The oily issue has to be something preventing the bond unless this is something we haven't encountered yet...which is possible but doubtfully.

I bought a tube of Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 last year and just used it over the summer. I read its directions and watched a couple of videos to see if there was some tip or tick others offer but there really wasn't any, it's pretty straight forward.

What I can tell you is Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 doesn't fill so surface preparation is a must, otherwise you'll end up with some nicely protected swirls...

Clean the finish

Be sure you clean the surface thoroughly. This is probably the biggest cause for failed applications.

The instructions say to use an Isopropyl Alcohol mix spray to prepare the way for it's application. Personally, I clean the polished finish with mineral spirits then wipe with clean microfiber towels. Once through, I go over it with the Isopropyl Alcohol mix as a last step before applying the Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 product.

Nick did a nice writeup not too long ago that may help as well.

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 lays down thin, I mean really thin. Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 should evaporate almost immediately.If you see depth to it like applying Ultima Paint Guard Plus it's way too think.I've done 2 cars and a full set of wheels with one tube and I still have some left.

Send chris a pm.

If it were me, I'd pick a panel and polish, not to aggressive, ipa then waterbead test.

Anything similar to PolishII or OHP.

Not a big deal, just dive right in...but watch a few videos and read a few threads before reapplication.

These are just my opinion gathered from reading 2.0 threads for the last 11 months.
I've never had to deal with your issue, personally.

thanks for the Video bobby makes you not so scared to try it lol

Not much is needed to remove haze on such a fresh application. You should be able to use Finish Polish or Poli Seal on a finishing pad. If you only polish until it clears up, you probably won't have to reapply because your ony trying to remove the excess that hazed and not the initial bond.

Question?
If the coating is hazy,but not cured...
and one chooses an AIO other than OPS to remove the haziness...

Could the polymers from using said other AIO interfere with the curing process, thus clarity of 2.0?


Curiosity strikes again.

Grease remover may have stripped or thinned it so close to application.
