New Product - Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0

**CriticalDetails** · 03-25-2011, 02:47 PM

If you apply Opti-Coat on a vehicle and it becomes marred a year or two down the road what is the best course of action?

Can you simply polish Opti-Coat back to perfection and apply an additional layer over top of the previously applied layer?

If you apply Opti-Coat 2.0 what happens to OCW and OS useless??

Chris, Perhaps you missed this post. I know there is a lot of excitement about this product, but, can you please answer my earlier post?

Chris, I'm thrilled you guys finally got this to market. One question that hasn't been asked yet is that how does the longevity of OC compare to OG? I have a full syringe of the original OC, will it outperform the new OC or is it just a matter of ease of application? I can get both, so I want the product which is going to last the longest.

Sorry about that richy, Opti Guard has a little more actives and a little less solvent, but this only translates into different quantities to do basically the same job. You might see a little more durability from Opti Guard forming a faster bond, but not enough to effect the results significantly. Longevity hasn't been documented as thoroughly as Opti Guard, obviously...but with the same chemistry they are very comparable. I think your price point is going to be a little better with the Opti Guard since it's a little more concentrated.

Yes, Opti Guard and Opti Coat 2.0 can be polished. If you find that you have to polish aggressively enough that the properties of the coating cease, polish the entire panel before you reapply because it cannot be layered.

Opti Coat 2.0 will be your LSP. You can use OCW as a drying aid, but neither Opti Seal nor OCW will "stick" to the coating and only last a few days.

Would Opti-coat protect areas around stone chips from rusting? I thought it might. When you say permanent, any idea of how durable it will be?

Ya'll got my attention with this product....

Does this product bead water like waxes or sealants?

I thought it was not recommended to use OCW as a drying aid only OID?

Yes it does. It repells water better than any sealant or wax I have used. I have opti coat pro but I'd assume the 2.0 has the same water repelling effects.
