I wanted to give an update on my results. I did the first real wash on my coating this weekend. This is the 3rd week after I applied my coating. I needed to give it enough time for it to...

The only issue I have had with water spots and ceramic coatings (Optimum Gloss Coat) is when my car was parked at work and was hit by a water sprinkler, and left to sit all day in 80*F weather. I...

So it has been a little over 2 weeks of DDing after finishing my Detail/Coating. I have been holding off on doing a normal/complete wash until after the 3rd week. I ended up doing a light ONR wash...

Cool, I see it now.

It has been raining all day today, so I snapped a few quick pics of the water beading. Also, when driving on the freeway this morning, pretty much every spec of water was...

Thanks everyone for likes and replies!

I do want to say, that after using Hyper Polish, I really don't want to use any other brand/type of polish. I was skeptical at first because it is in a...

In June of 2016, about 2 weeks after I picked up my 2016 Subaru WRX Limited, I did a New Car Prep/Optimum Gloss Coat Application.

Here is a link to my thread:

I was going to dilute it to 1:5 like the directions say, but have never used before. Is that a good dilution for a dash?



I applied UIGP the same way that I did to my dash, on the rest of the...

If I use Power Clean, will I need to wipe it down with water or anything else (to remove the power clean residue), before applying Pearl?

I am having streaking issues with UIGP. I have tried removing it with Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel, and re-applying, but am still getting streaking. I want to completely remove the UIGP, and apply...

I tried my hardest to get all of the air out of my remaining OptiCoat in the syringe. There is still a tiny bubble, abou the size of half a peppercorn. Will that cause it to harden?

This is my 2nd Optimum Gloss Coat application, and 3rd Coating install all together. My first GC application was on my 2016 WRX. This time around it was on my Wife's new 2017 Acura RDX.

Here was my prep:

I ordered the car new, and when delivered I requested they keep all of the protective plastics on, and not touch my paint.

Why do you think that the coating would wear off on the lower sides and rear of the vehicle, and remain on the upper sides, front, Hood and Roof? Is it because those areas get hit the most with road...

I finally had a chance to give my car a wash with Carpro Reset, and the microfiber incredimitt. I used 1 oz to about 3-4 gallons of water. Unfortunately, it didn't restore the beading/sheeting of...

Funny, I just ran across this post:

I have been using CG Maxi Suds and MR pink for the...

I forgot to mention I had the exact same issue with my last car that had Opti-Coat Pro on it (The sides and rear didn't bead after about a year). I had Clayed and Iron-Xed it as well with no...

I use Chemical Guys Mr Pink.

I applied Optimum Gloss Coat June of 2016. For the last few months, I have noticed that water no longer beads or sheets well on the sides (Bottom half of driver and pass doors, Rear sides of bumper)...

So I have given it 13 days, and it still looks about the same, maybe slightly better. Any tips on what I can try to make it look better? I do have a cheap McCulloch MC1275 steam cleaner, but I...

I don't. I had this one in my car for about 6 months. The seat was needed elsewhere so I took it out, and will likely not put it back in again.

Thanks for the responses guys! I just took it out yesterday, so it looks like I haven't given it enough time yet. I'll wait for a few more days and see how it looks.

Is there a link to @pdqgp's glass coating vid? I would like to see it!

I just uninstalled a car seat from my 2016 WRX. It looks like the upper frame and buckle from the Top Tether strap made some really bad/deep indentations in my seats.

It looks like not only the...

Don, that is great to hear your DI system is still holding up! I will have to check out the tolco! Also, someone sent me a link about re-charging DI-Resin. I still have some research to do on it,...
