Video Review - How Chemically Resistant is Opticoat?
Hello everyone, I recently made a thread about opticoat beading and sheeting, and I also wanted to show just how awesome this stuff is. If you are one of those guys that hate detailing your car, then imo, you should look into this. If you are someone who is super anal about their car, and you really enjoy waxing, washing, and polishing, then this is probably not the product for you.
Opticoat is this really cool coating that once it bonds to your car it becomes like a second clear coat. I wanted to show just how resistant this stuff is to very strong all purpose cleaner... Straight!
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the review.
I am really considering coating my wife's black BMW wagon with this stuff.

Definitely considering this when summer rolls around and I can spend a good weekend correcting my car.
Thanks for the video!

Hi Roshan...and thanks for your: Chemical Resistance Testing of OC 2.0
Often Labs will run similar "Chemical Resistance (failure) Testing" such as: ASTM D543...
Simultaneously/Alongside..."Ageing Studies" such as: ASTM D2565-D4459.
And NO!! You may not run any "Ageing Studies" on me.
"The Good Wife" has already made sure I was tested.
Speaking of Tests...
Our AGO forum friend WRXINXS (Drew) has presented
what I'll call a true-conumdrum in the below thread.
Carpro Dlux OVER Opti-Guard
Since you already have access to an OC'ed vehicle:
What are the chances you may be able to assist in this puzzler
by performing another Chemical Resistance Test?
Thanks.
NOTE:
A resolution of this paradoxical scenario has, seemingly,
evaded any logical postulations of mine.

Sorry, but I'm not impressed.
This is nothing that Collinite 476 Super Doublecoat can't do.
Plus, with one can of 476, I can wax every car in every dealership in this one horse town.
When I see you dump pure Hydrocloric Acid on the paint, and nothng happens, maybe I'll then be a believer.

I recall watching a tv commercial showing some guy dumping lighter fluid on the hood and lighting it. I think it was for NuFinish.
Very dramatic but unless its not allowed to sit on the surface for several hours its not going to hurt it including lighting it on fire for a minute it or two whether its got OC on it or just wax.
I think OC is a great product but...
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

I've used 3 ounces of all purpose cleaner in a wash bucket diluted into 4 to 5 gallons and it stripped the wax off a car very well. I would think that 3 ounces straight onto the car (a very small part of the car at that) not diluted at all, would have the same effect on wax.
But then again, I haven't ever tested that, maybe I need to make a follow up video of a few ounces of all purpose cleaner stripping away wax?
