Thank you for posting here!
Question: I don't know much about clear coats, but have seen some bad ones that have failed - peeled off.
Can you're product suffer the same fate if not maintained? OR is this something totally different?
Thanks

Sounds great.
So what happens if you have to / want to polish / clean the paint for whatever reason after applying Optimum Opti-Coat 2?
Will polishing remove the product?

Good question! No, Opti Coat 2.0 will never peel or flake. The chemical bond it forms is with your factory paint so in essence your factory clear would have to peel/flake.

After fully cured, chemical cleaners will not remove it. Finish Polishes and AIO's should be fine, but intensive/hyper polishes will remove some of the coating...just like it does your factory coat. What you will notice is that Opti Coat 2.0 will not allow airborne contaminants to adhere and is not as easy to scratch so you should be able to go much longer without needing to polish or clay.

Re: New Product - Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0
So presumably, given the nature of this coating it should produce a measurably changed reading with a PTG (as in, the coating will add a few microns or tenths of a mil to the "film build" thickness of the finish), correct?

Re: New Product - Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0
So how would you properly prepare the paint for an Opti-Coat? Obviously a wash and clay, but what else? Would you follow up the clay with a pre-wax cleanser?

I think I answered this at the end of post #13, but if you have another question, shoot.

Well, you just mentioned polishing/compounding, not the method of paint prep. Wash and clay? Or wash, clay, and pre-wax cleanser? Any other appropriate steps?

Re: New Product - Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0
Will topping with either Optimum Car Wax or Collinite 845 degrade the product in terms of durability or protection? I ask because I work for a power company and one of our coal plants in particular is terrible about etching the clear coat on employees cars. So I'll take any added protection I can get.
