EDITOR’S NOTE:  This is a sponsored post from OPT, a provider of paint protection products.

As the leading paint protection manufacturer on the market, Optimum Polymer Technologies (OPT) has protected the most expensive and the newest cars to enter the market. Paint is the first impression and the last touch that a car receives. Manufacturers invest billions into making the shine and the look last as long as it can. Opti-Coat Pro Plus, manufactured by OPT, has been recently lauded as a primary protection of choice by Tesla owners around the world. In fact there are, thousands of Teslas that have been Opti-Coated around the world in the past five years.

OPT was founded by Dr. David Ghodoussi in 2001 after several years of manufacturing automotive paint for DuPont. His expertise as a PhD scientist specializing in automotive paint formulations and chemical interactions allowed him to invent the world’s first and most effective paint protection system to “freeze” the look of a new car.

“Tesla manufactures some of the most technologically advanced cars on the road. They also use some of the latest technologies in paint systems and other exterior and interior finishes. While I do believe that all new cars deserve a special coating to preserve the look, I wanted to make it clear that Tesla already does an amazing job resulting in beautiful, strong paint,” Dr. Ghodoussi said. “I look forward to purchasing my first Tesla soon. I hope Tesla also appreciates that our coatings do actually preserve their vehicles and many owners share their Tesla results with us with pride.”

Opti-Coat is the most advanced ceramic coating available in the market anywhere in the world. It is scientifically engineered by the leading experts in the field. Always undergoing advancements, Opti-Coat is the go-to choice for high end car owners such as Lamborghini, McLaren, Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Porsche, and Tesla.

“Opti-Coat Pro Plus was a must for the Lambo Aventador, Aston Martin, and Bentley GT’s that we were using for our show and for ourselves. I recently got a Tesla Model X and had our top researchers find the best protection. I was disappointed by others in the market that had failed to do what they advertise, so we took several months to research and try each out before selecting OPT as our show’s official paint protection application for all the top-line exotic vehicles and for every Tesla that we or our show will purchase. The OPT team came out and I’m honestly amazed at what it can do. I wouldn’t buy a new car now without scheduling the Pro Plus application to be done when it gets dropped off so I can keep it ‘frozen’ in time looking that amazing,” said Paul Rock, Film Producer and Association Brand Products CEO.

Opti-Coat will prevent damage from UV rays and all environmental contaminants. Opti-Coat Pro Plus is guaranteed and warrantied for 7 years and it can only be purchased through and applied by an approved OPT Authorized automotive application specialist who is also required to be proficient in paint correction and auto maintenance.

Thanks. I know where to buy the things, I'm trying to figure out *which* to buy.

Let me ask the question another way. I had a bunch of expensive microfiber towels I'd bought on Amazon several years ago and had been using them to clean and dry the car. A detailer told me they were scratching the 2013-vintage factory Midnight Blue Metallic paint on my S, and that I needed better mats and towels. He recommended Opti.

I'm trying to find what other S owners use and see if there are towels and mats that lots of people use that work best on S's.

Any ideas?
As much as I love the Optimum line of products, I don't like their microfiber towels as much as towels from the Rag Company. After applying Optimum No Rinse (usually with Optimum Car Wax, Optimum Instant Detailer, or Opti-Seal as a drying aid), I use the Dry Me A River Jr.:

Dry Me A River!™ Jr. 20 x 40 Premium Korean Waffle Weave Towel

If there are leftover high spots from the drying aid, or if I want to apply the car wax or instant detailer after drying, I use the Eagle Edgeless to polish out the high spots:

Eagle Edgeless 16 x 24 Blue Microfiber Towel

Here are a couple others I'll occasionally use, too:

Platinum Pluffle 16 x 16 Hybrid Weave Microfiber Towel

Premium Korean Microfiber 16 x 16 Blue Glass and Window Towel

If you spend any time on the Rag Company website, you'll see they have an almost overwhelming selection of towels, and you really can't go wrong with any of them. I've found it helpful to watch their YouTube videos (especially the ones with the duo of Levi from the Rag Company and Yvan from Optimum Polymer Technologies) to narrow down the choices. This is all on a Midnight Silver MS with Xpel and Opticoat Pro Plus, by the way.
