I used the Nanoskin Shock sealant on my wife's car and it's really good.
It doesn't compare apples to apples with Opti Coat as it will not add thickness to the clear coat.

They both do well, have different protection, and have different longevities.

Definitely worth the money IMO.I have washed my car once a week using a wash&wax soap for the last three months and have sprayed nothing else on the surface.The coating the dealership put on it is still there and they will reapply it every 6mo for 2 years. If you hate waxing but don't mind washing,this is it.

The opti-coat is badass. It sheets water and dirt pretty well. I notice the paint doesn't look very dirty longer than without it. And when I do wash it, I don't have to be as aggressive. Usually just need to spray wash it even.

I wet dry it afterwards with some microfibers and this stuff.

NanoSkin Hydro Express

Adds luster on top of the opti-coat and it's super hydrophobic. Car looks amazing and it makes the pearl look ridiculous.

Opti Coat/Guard is the shizz. Glad you guys like it.

So where do I get the NanoSkin Shield? Autogeek doesn't seem to carry that one.

Well OPT is coming out with a lifetime warranty so may that will answer your question. It just lasts a very long long time, up to 5 years.

Optimum is launching a new program . It will offer Opti-Pro from authorized installers . Opti-Pro will carry a lifetime warranty and a guarantee against paint failure or damage up to $1,500.00. Opti-Coat will still be offered to the consumer for DIY installs.

Oh boy are they going to swirl up your paint with those weekly washes

I wash my own car and I have been washing long enough to where I don't experience swirls.Its not hard if you take the time to wash it right.First,I only use armor all wash and wax soap.

I use the 2 bucket system with cotton wash towel and dry.Straight washing, in back and forth motion the length of the panels, flipping the towel around on every pass

Then i rinse the towel in clean bucket of water and run it through the soap bucket and repeat.

I use a 16x27 cotton towel to dry and keep wringing it out like a shammy using straight wipes from panel to panel

I thought you were saying the dealer was washing it weekly. My mistake.
