Re: Opti-Coat Pro Applied - Have Questions/Need Help
Did you notice the swirls before or after your quick detail. Also what kind of towel are you using?
Btw. That's not normal. I don't know one pro who'd hand a car back like that. Is this person a legit opticoat pro installer?
Back to the full-time grind.

I would be upset also. If you paid $1000, the finish should look flaw less under the coating.

I use wizards quick detail, 70/30 420 GSM edgeless microfiber towels
But, the pictures are from the day after the Opti-Coat in the sun

That's not proper prep work prior to applying the coating, that's for sure.
Be sure to get swirl finder light so when you pick it up after they "fix it" you can inspect the paint.
This is a great example of a professional coating installation pre and post coating. Zach and his team are one of the best.

Re: Opti-Coat Pro Applied - Have Questions/Need Help
I wonder if they did any polishing at all before applying the coating. My hack sense is tingling.

Re: Opti-Coat Pro Applied - Have Questions/Need Help
This is what I was really hoping for... or like even 90% of this.
The cars about a year old, does that matter at all? I mean obviously it had some swirls which is
why I got it done... but they weren't terrible by any means
I wish I could post the videos going across in the sun

IMHO for $1,000 your Maxima paint should be flawless.
Check this 370Z out, and I did this for $250.00, no coating but swirl free and applied LSP after correction step:

Re: Opti-Coat Pro Applied - Have Questions/Need Help
For $1000 I am sure he is a very nice guy to talk to... but you want results! Poor job and an even poorer explanation. I am not an "OptiPro", but I have applied it and not once have I ever considered buffing OptiCoat to level it out. The dang product needs xx days to cure so buffing at post-application is just ALL WRONG to me. Get some money back, and tell him to fix it and do it right the first time for the next customer. Also, send the pics to Optimum and explain the situation to them, maybe they can do something about this guys certification.

Maybe give the shop owner a shot at making it right? Everybody's had a bad day, if he's able to fix it correctly without trying to deny poor work no biggie. BUT if he tries to fight it then send it up the food chain!
