These products have been in the market for almost a year but only available to professional groomers only..Why not let DIY users have a chance to try since some of the detailers are quite pro..I decided to start retailing this coating to fellow DIY users..This OptiCoat is not spray on type of coating..This Opticoat can be removed with some hard machine polishing compound so dun worry if wrong application will damage your paint..With this coating underneath..You can still DIY with some of your favorite waxes or sealant or even AIOs... It has been a while since I last stop my FL detailing..I decided to do this test to see how OptiCoat can last in our tropical weather.. Surface used..4 years old Citroen Berlingo..Condition is quite bad..decided not to do a wet sand as time is quite consuming..oxidation and water marks are main issue..I dun expect a 100% removal.. Machine used- Makita 9227C and Flex polishing pads - Lake country purple wool and orange/white pads.. Products Used - Since I am still waiting for my Optimum Professional polish..I took some Merzerna Power Gloss and Intensive polish 91 and 85..Optimum Poli-seal..Optimum Power clean..70% IPA ..Optimum No Rinse and the main dish Optimum Opti-Coat Here are some pics.. condition of the surface before polish..

There are tons of coatings out in the market.. Paint coating..glass coating..nano coating..ceramic coating and they have the same purpose..that is to protect the paint against the harsh environment..most people including myself determine how long the coating last by the water sheeting and water beading effect but how about the protection..bead and sheet are one thing..the question is does it protect the paint? Generally all sealant, waxes including coating gave water beading and people are just happy to see it beads water but when the bird dropping landed on the surface..are you still able to remove them? To what extend? Hand polish or machine polish..everyone know bird dropping are acidic and it etches into the paint in just hours and if under the sun baking..it is worst.. If you do a google on optiguard or OptiCoat..u will see lots of different testing going on and comparing with different coating..to me as a car owner myself..I want it to protect the paint and able to remove any stains manually with some light polishes. My car is always a testbed for products..surface coated with optiguard by miracle detail 3 or 4 months ago with once a week washing and maintain with quick detailer. Car is parked 24/7 outdoor.. I got some fruit or bird dropping few weeks back and is indeed a good time to test out products.. The dropping is red in color and I know this is the most acidic stains..I was at miracle detail and Jeremy suggested to do a light polish and this is what I wanted to try..how easy to remove this stains from OptiCoat . I did not use any very abrasive products..I started with dura gloss 652 pre cleaner before I proceed to more abrasive stuff if I can't remove the stains I gave a very light rub with a cloth..no elbow grease and after a few rounds..the stains get lighter and almost gone..
