Great informative review. Thank you.
^Coating your paint is definitely a good choice in my opinion, although many people are against it because they enjoy applying wax regularly (which I do too, but I enjoy the protection a coating provides more).
I used about 20mL of this on my car. I could have used less if I had not done the 2nd coat on the horizontal surfaces. I'd say you would need 20-30mL for a large SUV, and 15-20mL for each mid sized sedan... total of approx. 65-90mL? A little bit goes a very, very long way - it just might take practice to not over apply the product.

OptiCoat is the best coating on the planet, bar none. If you want to repolish all the time, go for it, but it is not necessary. :mad::mad::mad:
^Opti-Coat is great, not disagreeing with you. Just wanted to try something "new". Also, it is not uncommon to see some minor swirling here and there after a couple of years (or less) regardless of how meticulous your wash methods are... just saying. So for those that are after perfection at all times, it is worth it to follow up with some finishing polish from time to time, as needed.

Thanks for posting your experiences, I too am very intrigued by these new paint "coating" offerings. Hoping to do my first CQF application this weekendo on a clients IS-F.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts! I've used it on 4 vehicles recently and have found it very easy to work with and it yields great protection and an even better shine!
6 month update for my vehicle... car is still very glossy and the water beading and sheeting is fantastic!

I will be coating two cars this weekend. One of the coatings I actually won on a facebook contest. Pretty excited, i've seen so many good reviews.

It sounds like 22ple has better gloss than most but durability is in question?
