    Ceramic Coating - Diamond Plate by Simoniz

    Anyone heard of this one?

    I wanted opticoat pro+, but detailer didn't have it, so I ended up with this applied for about $500, supposedly have 2yr warranty.
    will see how long it lasts, if anything will likely prep/recoat next time with opticoat pro

    Thanks
    David

    Re: Ceramic Coating - Diamond Plate by Simoniz

    There have been a few posts about this in the last year or so. From what I gather it's a descent ceramic coating, nothing really special. They rely on the name to sell it, that name has been associated with car care for decades.

    I'm guessing, with everything out now, they'll ( company name) never be used again as a verb like in the old days... "just had her Simonized!".

    David, are you happy with the look and feel of their coating? Time will tell on the durability.

    I can't imagine it would be hard to find an opticoat dealer in CA. OP, sounds like you got hasty.

    Re: Ceramic Coating - Diamond Plate by Simoniz

    I do like how it looks and feels, just dont know the durability.

    I'm located in Palm Springs, CA. There is another detailer closeby who does do Opticoat pro, but I only had 1 day free and I made an appt with this detailer already, so I went with it.

    I am not aware Simoniz is that big of a name back in the days, will see how this holds

    Considering this coating as well. Curious to hear how it’s held up over the last year and a half. Thanks!

    I'll soon be 70 years of age and I remember helping my father "Simoniz" our 50's era Chevy. That name has been around for quite some time. Back then it was damn near impossible to remove once applied.....serious elbow grease required. Of course when you slather it on like Crisco lard it doesn't help.
