The protection is unrivaled.
Here are some quotes from local women:

Just feel lucky that the FR-S windshield is at the right angle to deflect most objects like the medium sized rocks they use instead of salt or sand here in Calgary. So when you here a rock don't worry too too much 98% chance or better your all right. I haven't counted exactly but I'm pritty sure I've had at least 100 and not even a chip.

Haha, half of the cars in IL looked like this when I lived up there. Just take it to a wash booth and spray it off. Best you can do for now without getting a heated garage.

I'm sure I'd be putting myself at risk for frostbite if I still lived up north with my car, because I'd be washing it every. single. day. No way in Hell (MI) I'd let that sit on my car for more than a few hours.

My last three cars rotted in the garage in the winter the last of which drove me absolutely crazy that I sold it in the spring. I vowed not to own another car aside from a kart that just sat looking pretty.

So the salt, dirt and the pre snow treatment that collects like a fresh coat of fire suppressant on the paint may look bad to some, its much worse seeing a car sit in the garage clean for half the year.

Its best to celebrate the filth the caustic sludge and rust inducing slop than to be sad in the pants not driving it.

I haven't laughed that hard in over a week. 2013 seems like a good year after all, especially with all these custom paint jobs done by our state gov.

Its a joke...you guys know what that is right? :lol:



Opti-coat is really over hyped though...:sigh:
