    To Opti-Gloss Coat or not?

    Poll: Doing my personal weekend/nice weather only car right now. Usual LSP is HD Poxy or Nuba topped with WG 2.0. Car is spray waxed after every wash and love to use Wet Glaze 2.0 before a show or cruise. Should I stick with Poxy and WG 2.0 or go Opti Gloss Coat? The wheels are already coated.



    Started correction today.

    Gloss coat is definitely worth it. The slickness is almost wax like. There is a new product opti coat plus although I'm not sure if its pro only.

    Maybe I will use OGC and since it can be topped, use WG 2.0 to top it after it cures.

    Re: To Opti-Gloss Coat or not?

    -Is this vehicle's paint warranty still in effect?

    •The reason I ask is:
    -If the following is true...what bearing, if any, would
    it have on the aforementioned paint warranty?


    "A GlossCoat Application/Curing Synopsis":

    •Once a vehicle's paintwork is "properly prepared",
    then Optimum's Gloss-Coat is designed to become a
    semi-permanent subdivision of a vehicle's paint-system.

    •This is stated to occur through a chemically bonding
    process (a la: CC bonds to the BC)...and continuing
    on, over time, to undergo full cross-linking and hardening...(totally curing, as it were)...as it is exposed to heat.

    The car was bought with 1800 miles on it, all the swirls and towel scratches were installed before I bought the vehicle. I used Poxy, WG and D156 to get me through a few months before I put it away for the winter. Forgot to mention that in first post.

    Re: To Opti-Gloss Coat or not?

    I'd say with it being just a seasonal vehicle that a coating really isn't necessary. I coated my car but that's because I drive it 25k a year and it often outside. If it were in the garage and driven only in nice weather I'd just be using Reload or Hydro2 alone.
