Hi all...
Yesterday i spent few good hours on Opti Coating my car (Lexus IS 200)and I must say this product is AMAZING! Very easy to apply really!
I stated with washing my car with Meguires California Gold wash or something like that. Then I clay bar -ed the whole car. At that point the paint was really, really smooth. Then I used a combination of different polish compounds to correct any swirls or scratches.
I used the following:
1. First and second step of the Mothers 3 steps polish
2. Autoglym resin based polish compound - really good stuff
3. Meguires deep polish crystal clear
After hours spent on corecting the paint which was quite bad for a 00 model, and also clear the paint of all contaminants, I got to apply the opti guard 2.0.
I must say the car looks fantastic.
So if you want to save yourself some money, it might be a good idea to get the Opticoat 2.0 for $90 and have someone do your paint correction for you whihc is what...200 max?
The only downside to this is that you wont get a lifetime warranty.
This is only a suggestion!
I am not trying to disregard the professional services by any means.
