Washed and Opti-Coated
 

Picked up my DGM on Friday. Had asked the dealer not to wash it. It was too windy yesterday so the car stayed in the garage. Went out this morning and washed it, did an IPA wipe down, 3M adhesion remover to get the remnants of the adhesive off the car from the shipping stickers, IPA wipe down again, applied Opti-coat to the exterior, headlights, taillights, door jams, trunk crevices, and wheels. Adam's glass sealant on all windows and Adam's Super VRT on the tires and wheel wells. It was my first time using Opti-coat. Pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.

The car should be getting tint and Xpel Ultimate on the hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors, headlights and fogs this week.

Looks great! Have you ever used Opticoat before or was this your first time?

It was my first time using Opti-coat. I've used other polymers before but I must say I'm very impressed with the results of the OC.

Never mind. Me<reading the entire post, lol!

Looks beautiful! This is addressing some of my concern about opticoat. I was worried I would never get a deep shine with it but that second picture is proving me wrong. Good job!

Thanks. Yeah, I was curious to see how it would compare to a typical wax job. I had the DA ready to go if I didn't like it. I may hit it up with some Optimum detailing spray later on as that's supposed to bring out the shine even more. The pics are off my Galaxy Note so it doesn't really show how deep the shine really is. Will try to get some pics with my Canon 7D later.

Considering that most quick detail sprays only work for a few days on a non-opti-coated car, do you think it'd be worth it on an opti-coated car? I would think it really wouldn't do much at all. I heard a good wax will give more depth to the shine but only for so long since the opti-coat really doesn't let anything adhere.

The detail spray I'm referring to is made by Optimum, the same company that makes Opti-coat. It's a quick detail and gloss enhancer. Just used to make it pop a little more.

For the Florida folks looking for an opti-guard guy. He does amazing work!

Here's a couple more that I took with my Canon DSLR.

Looks good. Did you opticoat the gixxer at all.
Had my FZ6 done as well.

It's a CBR600RR. Did not opticoat it yet. I keep it clean and have found Plexus to do a good enough job on it that I probably won't OC it.

My bad on the 600rr beauty bike. Plexus will have to look that up.

That looks good
