    Either don't do it than, or include a quick polishing step. Non correctional polishing shouldn't take you much extra time even on 2 cars. I mean it sounds like you have all day to detail not half a day. If I heard it from a Craigslist hack, I wouldn't even blink, but being that you are on Autogeek, you should know better that after claying you ALWAYS polish. What ever it takes. Do an ONR wash instead of a traditional one. Saves tons of time. Coating, wax,sealant, it doesn't matter, their job it to lock in what is underneath, not to make the finish shine. Prep is the key to most of the gloss. So make the finish shine first, before you protect it.

    Your website states that Opti-Coat "lasts indefinitely"

    Is that the Pro version?

    Yes but not just my site says so - any authorized installers will say so plus the optimum site. Opti Coat is a clear coat - applied properly, it is not coming off.

    I understand what you are saying first of all I'm not getting compensated to polish it,secondly I didn't start detailing last week ,onr is a waste of time on a daily driver ny filth car,when I wash I do wheel barrels flush out jambs etc.one is a car and one is a truck both silver,I'm flying to ny so I'm not gonna bring a buffer or flammable substances,he has the coating this is just a real quick scenario that he suggested.at the end of the day it's better than nothing the coating will give it plenty of gloss and protection he deosnt expect X-ray vision correction or polishing doing him and his wife a favor.

    I thought you are getting $500 per car.
