Another opticoat thread, and the quality of unmolested paint

Well, I felt brave enough to try opticoat. I took care of my paint before I put it on at around 700 miles, so here was my starting point:






Clay bar, polish etc and I had this:





opticoat and I get this:

Thanks guys. I should also mention that if it isn't obvious, I no longer had a good camera for the after pics, they were done on my cell and thus not as good. Might load up one or two once I get to borrow a good camera again.
