a decade old paint back to showroom - OPTI Coat by detailien

[kc's]

What happen in the last decade?
My car just turn 10 years old this year

You can go online shopping…goggle the most powerful search engine, air ticket available online…many other things like Ebay..paypal,,,,electronic wallet….e certifications - chips implanted in dog‘s ear as identity & breed status…..

I recall E ticket was imposed - abolish all the paper ticket, which waste lots of trees
Mobile phone comes with colour Tex, 3G was introduce - video conferencing make wide avail
Car comes with internet, wireless play station, virtual Reality stuff
FLAT SCREEN - tv pc screens & now 3D Flat screen..blue ray then now 3d blue ray player

iPC , iPod - the smallest & greatest walkman, iPad - electronic hand held newspaper, iPhone - the most state of art hand phones….

After 10 years on top in the US, Toyota Motor Corp. ... BMW sales out beat in year 2005 because “the model line-up is very strong, Car Reliability rated better..who would ever imagine the German marque finally out beats the Japs..Last year's number two thus slipped one position on the top ten list. ... BMW's 3 Series has been on the top-ten list of best-selling cars in UK

GPS is widely make available, Hybrid car make avail …..watch movie online….birth of many Car detailing forum
car sealant - was make to replace carnauba wax (environmental issue)

Many of my previous waxes residues stains some of my plastic handle (at least 6 years ago or more)
later
ONR no rinse wash was created to counter - water wastage & disposl water issue (many of US states affected)
OPTI COAT was formulated thru the years of research & lots of testing done & now as one of the best coating available

But still my car age is a decade & so does my age plus 10...




last night our TV2 channel show "alien vs predator"...I told my youth in the children home, this is decade old film....hmmmmm

Aliens vs. Predator, also known as Alien vs. Predator and Aliens versus Predator (all titles abbreviated AvP)As a Predator ship reaches Earth's orbit, it blasts a shaft through the ice towards the source of the heat bloom. When the humans arrive at the site above the heat source, an abandoned whaling station, they find the shaft and descend beneath the ice. They discover a mysterious pyramid and begin to explore it, finding evidence of a civilization predating written history and what appears to be a sacrificial chamber filled with human skeletons with ruptured rib cages.

Last week I met up with another forumer….saying that he would like to gives me a challenge
when we met, we view his paint condition & As I explaine lots of car detailing stuff to him, he understand…as he see the outcome of his car

clear coat failure


It was his dad E class paint faded…
This was the original paint….initially he does lots of covering with PVC car covers & washes by road side car wash (this is a 8 year old car)




I went home quickly as I recall I had a similar clear coat failure on the front of my hood…as
I have waited for nearly a year to get hold OPTICOAT into Malaysia…recently we received a shipment from Doc G…



I started my wife car - detailing at 4pm ++ ended past midnight

The following event is documented properly, in sequence of thing that have taken place

Plastic handles - 1:3 water with bristle brushes
hard stains (1/2 century waxes residue) remove permanently by power clean ...neat & brushes (but many detailers prefer a super degreaser or some road side car uses even kerosene...too risky ...would u allow them to do it on yr exotics???

Kerosene, sometimes spelled kerosine in scientific and industrial usage, also known as paraffin in UK and South Africa, is a combustible hydrocarbon liquid.

recommended to apply on brushes

or micro fibers....superb strength in cleaning stains & removing stickers....most of all safe for all car surface...unlike Super engine/ degreaser or APCs









optiseal water beading & repellant on all plastic area - even after 3 months

Ladies & gentleman...it time to say bye bye to waxes

Opti-Coat is a hard wearing, aftermarket clear coat for superior resistance to scratching (measuring 9/10 on Mohs scale) and chemical etching from environmental impacts. It provides permanent protection for all factory paints and can also be applied to exterior glass, metal and hard plastic surfaces.

Unlike factory urethane clear coats, Opti-Coat does not oxidise over time and provides permanent hydrophobic surface characteristics that release water, dirt and grime so your car stays cleaner for longer.

Opti-Coat is not a paint protection wax or sealant that will wash away, or break down over time. Opti-Coat bonds permanently with the factory coating, protecting the surface indefinitely and will not delaminate. No waxing or polishing is required.

Car detailer: OPTI COAT by detailien, bringing a decade old paint into show room condition
the real TEST.......Man vs wild episode

after going thru the rain...very heavy ones for about close to one hour


i can see the rain just glides thru my mirror & later when i get off the car i saw lines of water glides on my paint like a non stick pans



superb water beading-water beading proves is that high surface tension



few hours later rain continues & i discover



now alien is loosing the battle.....more cocoon is laid





more alien eggs laid



of all the waxes, sealant that i have try through out last decade ...none of which come close to this effect

Opti-Coat forms a permanent coating that acts as a second layer of clear coat that bonds to all surfaces. As the Opti-Coat will seal in any paint defects or contamination on the surface
Opti-Coat forms a permanent coating that acts as a second layer of clear coat, I had to try it out for myself.

Although the Opti-Coat is supposed to provide an additional layer of protection on top of the regular clear coat, what better way to try out a product that is supposed to act as an additional layer of clear coat than on a car with clear coat failure?
