Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?
I've been reading up a bit on Opti Coat and it seems to me that this would be the ideal way to preserve a car's finish on a long term basis. So my question is, why wouldn't everyone apply this to their own vehicle if it works as advertised (and it seems to do just that)?
I'm kicking myself for buying Blacklight and Lava instead of this stuff. The way I see it, I'll need to re-apply the Blacklight and Lava every few months or earlier, which increases the chance that I'll induce marring or swirls. But with Opti Coat, it's one and done.
Are there any downsides to Opti Coat?

I use it on my car but not every customer is willing to pay the price for it and your average person has no idea what Opti Coat is.

Good question!
I have debated using it on my Vette, but I enjoy trying different high quality paste waxes, sealants, and coatings (non "permanent") too much to apply opti-coat to it.
My camry is opti-coated however and has held up quite well. As far as daily drivers are concerned, every DD should be coated imo!

Do you seriously keep your waxes refrigerated?

It is still new, so people mistakenly bash the product and think that it does not work.
OptiCoat is awesome. If you like spending too much money for wax, then OptiCoat is not for you.
I learned a long time ago that less is more. If you are constantly waxing your car, you may be wasting time, money, and product.
This is not a popular opinion on this site, but most waxes are the same. Sealants are better, but they do not last as long as OptiCoat.

swanicyouth answered the question for me, especially #4.
I actually have a bottle sitting around. My plan is to just coat the wheels and leave it at that.
Re: Why doesn't everyone use Opti Coat?
Personally, I like to detail, experiment, play with detailing products and tools. If I seal my cars and trucks up with Opti-Coat then by default I can be charged with Product Abuse...and this is an arrestable offense.......in my mind anyway...:laughing:
Seriously though, I will use Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 on my wife's new car this spring.....:props:
