Maintenance after Opti-coat

pochesq · 06-25-2013, 10:43 PM

I had James from Sunsetdetailingoc Opti-coat my car. Looks fabulous. To those who have had their car Opti-coated, if you don't have time to wash your car would you have your parking garage car detailer wash your ride? What other after coat instructions did you follow, if any?

Stealth recommended Sonax Polymer Netshield to me, have yet to do it but I will soon. Supposed to add more gloss which he states, which is why I decided to do Opti intead of 22 ple (lpe?) Even tho is doesnt shine as much as the 22. Fair trade off since opti is permanent while 22 is not.

I did a wash and Opti is amazing, the water beads right off. And for those times I cant wash, ill use optimum no rinse.

Awesome. I like the Opti no rinse! Easy for a quick fix.

Please post a review or pics after the Sonax.

Just learning about OPTI products.... Do you apply the Sonax on top of the opti coat/guard or its one or the other?

Wait for Opti to fully cure. Then apply Sonax. It's a spray but you apply it like a wax - spread it with a pad and work it in, wait for it to haze, and then buff off with microfiber.

Phil from detailers domain posted a video here if you search.
