    Optimum Gloss Coat

    Anyone use this. I am thinking of testing this out on my wife's car and leaving my personal car with no coat to see the difference with iron deposits and contaminants over the Wisconsin winter. My Lexus will have Wolfgang Paint Sealant topped with Collinite 845. Her VW will have the Opti Coat. I would like to see for myself the difference, if any between the 2.

    I will do a maintenance wash every other week on both and start a thread with the results and updates on here.

    Just looking for some input on the Opti Coat. Looks easy to apply and pretty straight forward. Price is right as well.

    Thanks

    Re: Optimum Gloss Coat

    I have CQUK on one car, and Gloss coat on another..and then another car CQUk topped with Gloss Coat.

    The CQUK beads very nicely.

    The Gloss coat beads okay.

    The duo is incredible and car stays clean for a while (white car too)

    The CQUK does last longer though than Gloss Coat. Both very easy to use.

    Re: Optimum Gloss Coat

    It's a great product. The application is easy. If your in temps over 90 degrees you'll want to adjust the flash time a little bit. Oh and if your also an Opti-lens user make sure and double check the syringe before starting, it really sucks getting the car about 1/3 of the way done and realize you've been putting Opti-lens on the paint!!
    I think the main difference you'll find is that in the spring the Gloss Coat will still be going strong and the Lexus will be about ready for another coat.
    IMO a couple months into the VW will be holding it's gloss better and will be easier to clean. The Wolfgang sealant topped with 845 is a very durable combination, my money is on Gloss Coat though. I'll be following the thread to see how things go.

    Both cars are white. It will be interesting to see the difference. Iron deposits of course show like a **** **** on white.

    I'll make sure I keep it updated bud. I'll be using a RW all winter in my heated shop. Should be a good comparison.

    Thanks for the info!

    Re: Optimum Gloss Coat

    Get yourself some opti-seal as well. It helps protect gloss coat during the 7 day curing window from marring and chemical etching. Gloss Coat will shed opti-seal in about 2 weeks. Opti-Seal works great as a drying aid as well as a good maintenance product for gloss coat.

    I would also recommend applying a double coat of gloss coat with 1 hour in between coats. Then follow up with opti-seal 1 hour after the last coat.

    Re: Optimum Gloss Coat

    I recently applied Gloss Coat to a white Ford Escape and black Honda Odyssey. I found it very easy to apply and also followed with Opti Seal like The Guz recommended. The only other coating I've used is PBL Diamond Paint Coating and I'd recommend Gloss Coat over PBL (for ease of application). Our upcoming ND winter will be a good test for durability.

    What should we get to protect the Opti-Seal?
