    Glass coating questions

    Hey guys,

    I have seen a few videos recently regarding Glass Coatings from Brands such as
    Simoniz Glass Coat and Ever Glass.

    Have any of you tried any of these products and if so what do you think of them?

    I was not able to find much information. To me Glass Coat seems to resemble Opti-Coat in terms of chemical composition, but I am not sure.

    I would love to use Opti-Guard but the requirements are too steep for my company right now. First I can't afford a 1000$ training class and second I cannot generate the volume they require. I can't remember the exact figures but it was something like 200$ Worth of product a month minimum to be certified and be able to purchase.

    So I am looking for alternatives that would be similar to what Optimum is offering without the fuss.

    First of all there are no requirements to install their glass coating only to apply Opticoat Pro, which is for paint.

    Glass coat is the name of the product, it's also for paint.

    Opti-Guard (or Opti-Coat pro if you want) has steep requirements.

    Do you mean Gloss Coat instead of Glass Coat?

    Simoniz GlassCoat

    22ple VX Pro Glass Coating - 20 ml | Free Shipping Available - Detailed Image

    I believe there is an other product with a similar name, that is the one I was searching for when I found these. The one I am thinking of is applied layer after layer to get a finish that looks like glass. I could not find it unfortunately.

    Why not try Opti Glass Coating or Car Pro Flyby 40, both are great products for glass.

    I've tried a few glass coating and the best results (and longest lasting one) have been with FlyBy Forte (made by CarPro). Simple application, outstanding and lasting results. I was one of the Beta Tester and did share the install and had a quick update. As of today it performs like day #1

    And how long would that be? Only on my car for 3 months and so far so good.

    You can still buy Opti-Glass, you just can't buy Opti-Glass Pro without being a pro installer. On the installer buying requirements, if you are doing two Opti-coat applications per month you will hit the $300 mark required really easy.
