Is anyone opting for the lifetime warranty and is it worth it at all?

From what I have read, you need to have annual check-ups which cost in the vicinity of around $55-75, depending on where you go.

This usually consists of a wash and a minor detail supposedly, probably a quick detail though.

$55-75 for an annual quick detail isn't too bad.

i will discuss this with the detailer on Saturday.

Wouldn't make sense to do within first few years, especially due to the opti-coat fresh layer. Depends how much you wash it or detail it yourself I guess..

The annual inspection is basically to make sure opti coat is performing well. We check for tight water beading, clarity, contamination etc. It won't harm your coating.

I think guard is the professional product and coat is for consumer.

Kim did a great job with mine a few weeks ago

I haven't got any photos of it after having it opti-coated only the older the photos... But man it looks so much more defined x10 better looking and it's a breeze to keep clean
