Re: New Car - prep before OptiCoat
That should definitely be polished out before applying any LSP to it. Especially with how good the new 6's look.

Re: New Car - prep before OptiCoat
I think you are on the right track, and I definitely would polish the car before applying the OptiCoat. What you have also seems to be a great combination to get the results you will want. M205 is a good polish and should get rid of what is in the pictures, then it would be a matter of putting the coating on per manufacturers directions. I feel you are well on your way to a really slick looking car.
Be sure to actually let the car cure properly before having the film applied.

Re: New Car - prep before OptiCoat
All the above ^^^. There is definitely room for improvement and I'd take advantage of it prior to applying a coating like Opti-Coat.

Correct the paint, have the PPF installed, THEN opti-coat. You are going to lose many of the benefits of OC if you install the PPF over it.

Any issues with opti coating, then PPF and the applying a coat of Opti-coat to tend PPF (as I will have plenty). Seem to be reading conflicting answers if the Opti-coat could cause adhesion issues with the PPF - though I believe I've read at least one response from Chris at Opti indicating it would be OK - course is like to hear real-world results from others.

Looks awesome sir! You are ready to coat.
Don't know about opti coat disrupting ppf adhering. Never seen or heard of it. I know it goes great on top of ppf.

Re: New Car - prep before OptiCoat
Now that is how a new Mazda should look, nice and glossy. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
