As far as the color of the car, it doesn't matter or look any better or worse on any color. Lighter colors will hide seams and edges better. Darker colors will show wax build up on the edges, but you can clean the edges off with some rubbing alcohol. I'm just cautious when I wax as to not slop that shit everywhere. Also not to waste my wax.

As far as clear bra making the paint dull or less glossy or not as deep, your incorrect. Suntek makes the paint more glossy and it has depth that you don't have to constantly polish into a painted surface. Imagine a black car that's completely covered in Suntek PPF. You'd never get swirl, it would always have a deep gloss to it. Wash as normal and spray wax the bra and your good to go.

Obviously it won't stop a brick tumbling down the highway that hits your car but it will stop most of the standard rock chips and scratches. Suntek is also scratch resistant. I have it on my iphone screen and scratch the shit out of it with my keys to demo for people and literally it won't scratch, minor like streaks and 10 min later from my body heat in my pocket and the scratches are gone!

Only paint I've seen that has no orange peel are cars that have been color sanded cut polished and waxed by a professional detailer.

Uhhh I disagree. I've had opticoat for a year and freaking love it. Water still beads up great and it's very shiny. It doesn't protect against rock chips, but it's not supposed to. It's a permanent wax, not a rock-chip-preventer.

And maybe the reason you're waxing every-other wash is because your entire car is wrapped in plastic and you're just waxing the plastic, not the paint!

Would you mind rehosting the first image. And do you have any pictures of you installing on a darker color, like black?

I also highly disagree with this. "Stupid sealers we buy into"? Comes off after a few washes? Sorry bud, but you clearly come off as some ignorant vendor trying to push their product, telling people what they want to rather than educating us with the pro's and con's.

As I type this I'm sitting in a detailers shop surrounded by over a million dollars in nice cars. 3 of which I've full car wrapped. XanRules you can take your negativity somewhere else.
I'm not trying to sell you idiots jack shit. I'm not a vendor. Ie why I'm not slanging my business name or talking pricing.

I'm trying to answer legitimate questions and concerns of people on the fence about clear bra. I strongly believe it's a great product.

Your right opti coat is a lot longer lasting but it still doesn't prevent road fall out from sticking to paint then you gotta clay bar and all that good shit. A lot of people are just lazy and don't want to hassle with waxing there car regularly. Sealers do again last longer but still it isn't permanent.

I just finished full car wrapping the FRS LAST WEEK. So no more waxing. Just spray waxing from here out.

lol well as long as you're on the internet no one cares who or where you are.

You took my questions as negativity, because you failed to answer them only to call us names and bring down other products.

Well, thanks for calling us idiots, yet admitting your information for other products were wrong. Good luck convincing others with your piss poor attitude!

Yeah, clearly, with that attitude.

Regardless, I do love my XPEL front end wrap that I got (mirrors, half hood, half fenders, full bumper), and after about 9 months of having it on, I am wishing I did a full wrap.

Chips don't typically still happen. We call it a puncture. Typically would be from a really hard hit. In which case nothing would save the paint. With factory paint I've never ripped paint when removing a bra. Only time I've ripped paint is on repainted cars. That's why I feel it's so awesome to get a clear bra when the cars new to protect the best paint that car will ever have. Again as I stated. It's usually smoother, shinier and deeper gloss then factory paint. Hope that helps and after re reading my thread I do realize I blew over your main questions, I apologize for that.
