CQuarts/Opticoat 2.0

**ROMEO** · 07-08-2011, 08:24 PM

Hey guys, I have been thinking about getting one of this two, but the main thing that is holding me back is the no more waxing part, as I do enjoy the freshly waxed look a lot and have a lot of waxes (Fuzion, Pinnacle Souverän, P21 100, AutoGlyn HD, Naty's blue and more).

Has anyone that has used ether one of this been sorry about it? I mean, yes, sure, all the great protection, etc. But part of the fun is spending time on the car, applying different waxes/sealers.

It almost sounds to me as if this products would be better for the pro's working on those customer cars that never get any attention.

Or, am I just been plain crazy?

That is a good idea... I knew there was a reason to ask, even tho it seemed like a stupid question...

Def not a stupid question! I put some OC 2.0 just on my roof to try it....figuring that it would be easy to polish off if I didn't like it. Sorry I didn't do the entire vehicle. And you can wax it...no need to but you can still do it for OCD reasons!

I think there are still a number of people using LSPs with one of the coatings. I just put mine on last weekend as kind of a super barrier for the paint after it was perfected since my clear is starting to fail. I will post back with results of waxing on top, but I must say it looks beautiful on it's own. Maybe I'll branch out and start doing more cars for money.

At least is good to know you liked it! I was under the impression that they could not be waxed, or that it would be a waste since they would repel the wax...

Could CQuartz be waxed too?

Not sure about CQ. But Chris from OPT said you can wax OC 2.0 if you want to but it won't help the coating and may take away from its properties till the wax wears off....but still ok to do for the "need to wax" ppl like myself...LOL

I am very happy with OC thus far and it was very easy to apply once you get the hand of it. Took me about a 6inch square section to do so.

Yes , it can, with Nuba wax base , not petroleum solvents.
though there wont be any need for that if you've done great polishing before
cquartz has great "glass like" shine

From my observation with Opti-Coat 2.0 it would not be beneficial from a cleaning standpoint. My reason is because I used to use BFWD and the car would attract a lot of dust. Now that I have Opti-Coated my car the paint repels the dust. Also, I want to add that I am new and never really waxed cars before.

However, if you have always waxed and are a bit "OCD", (personally think everyone on this forum is OCD) then satisfy your craving.
