2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide

[mpkav]

Hey everybody, I'm jumping the gun a little bit but I'm planning on buying a 2014 Harley Street Glide in big blue pearl in the spring!! It has a pretty good flake to it. My question is should I use some of my Opti coat or should I stay with my polishes and sealants? I know it's personal preference but I like that smooth clean feel of a freshly waxed/sealed paint. It also would be a million times easier to Opti coat and not have to worry about the in depth detail!! Any opinions? I have some time but it's in my mind so I thought I would ask!! Thanks!!

Congrats!

I definitely would go with the Opti-Coat. Makes removing the bugs a lot easier and will protect against etching too.


I coated my best friends and he loved it! He's trading this one in for a new one soon, said he was going with Charcoal Pearl this time though....didn't like the red stripe on the 2014 matte black. ;)

Also, if you want that slick feeling you can always hit it with some CarPro Hydr02 over the Opti-Coat. ;)

I just finished up installing a 21 and 17 on my glide today. I opti coated my wheels and at first chance will be doing a paint correction and coating the entire bike.

You did Opti coat over the matte black? Did it change the look at all? I have always loved Harley's denim colors!!

Very nice!! I figured Opti coat would be easier than sealant every 6 months. I definitely think I'll go that route!!

OC has a very, very subtle darkening effect on matte surfaces but won't add gloss. Owner didn't even notice it. ;)
