Can it be used on multiple vehicles - or once it is open is the entire batch done for?

As long as you cap it, it's good for the duration.

Yep. Just make sure the cap is tight and your good to go.

You want to get any excess air out of the syringe before you recap, also.

Dont try to suck back what you dont use. I do a second coat on horizontal surfaces if I have any left over.

Hi Jim,

Do you still spray Opti-Coat on a foam pad? If so do you suck the unused portion of Opti-Coat back in the syringe for storage?

Two things about taking it out of the syringe:

1. Opti Coat is very reactive when exposed to air. Don't leave it in a sprayer for more than a day or so without using it or it will start to harden.

2. Opti Coat can be transferred back into the syringe, but take a couple of precautions. Remove excess air from the syringe and check it in a few days to make sure it's still air free. The polymerization process gives off gas and the brief exposure to air may continue a bit once back in the tube.

Thanx man - my client is a bit nervous about using his car as our first car for this product..... so I may see what it will take to get you down for this endeavor. Im confident that it is not much different that any other coating I have put on aircraft - but then again, for his sake and ours I may see what it will take to get you to help us out here. Thanx Chris!
