Opti-Coat 2.0 after 1 week
So I finally Opti Coated My '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee but the application was not perfect, working early morning in the shade but temperate got higher and parts of the Jeep was under direct sun light while I was in the middle of the coating process! I didn't want to wait until it cools down later coz I already spent almost the whole previous day cleaning it so I just wanted to finish anyway and spend the remaining of that weekend with family..
I know it shouldn't be applied to hot panels under direct sun light but I went on and finished it anyway but I expected it to fail on some panels/sections but left it alone to cure for 1 week then washed with Optimum Car Wash, regular 2 bucket method..
Luckily it was beading and sheeting well, Idk if it's really well or should be better?! you guys please check this little video (sorry it's one hand held phone video) and tell me if it looks successful or not
Thanks!

The Jeep looks nice, like it was a successful application. Was that a Bob Seger tune on the video? Nice jingle.

Just checked the first audio suggestion on YouTube, found it good enough & saved it thanks
Now both Opti-Glass & Opti-Coat went successful, next is CQ Dlux on the plastic grille and molded side steps!

Looks great. You can apply OC in direct sunlight. It just flashes faster.

Keeping in mind how we are OCD about our cars and keeping them clean. If done right you'll be glad you Opti Coated your car. Maintenance is a breeze now and it adds gloss (a whole new different type of gloss IMO) plus if you want you can still wax it, by spray waxing it.
I am getting some Opti Seal to top Opti Coat, just for kicks and to have it around for customers cars.
I've coated my paint, headlights, tail lights, reverse lights. windshield and windows. I've done my carpet too.
I would even do my wheels if they were in better condition, if I get new wheels. They too will get opti coated.

I decided to coat everything! Started with Opti-Glass on all glass including the panoramic roof then Opti-Coat all paint & chrome,next I'll use CQ Dlux on plastic grill and molded side steps.. Later on after getting my wheels road force balanced I'll Opti-Coat the wheels and coat the tires with Tuf Shine, I even bought CQ Fabric & Leather Coat for the carpeted wheel wells!
Now my question is how soon can I top Opti-Coat with sealant/wax??
I have Sonax Polymer Net Shield, CarPro Reload, Optimum Car Wax, Wolfgang Rudolph wax, Pinnacle liquid Souveran... I think I'll try Sonax PNS first and follow it up with Sonax BSD after every wash.
