Well if its beading its working. I would add a good wax/sealant over the entire surface to make it more hydrophobic as it sounds like thats what you are really looking for. This will also bring out the shine again and its recommended to do this. Remember nothing is a magic bullet but Opti is still there protecting your clear coat from chemicals.
Just can't buy the Pro without the warranty anymore so its considered included in the price. Dealers used to have the option to sell the product with or without the warranty. I personally think its a good thing to only come with the warranty now. This differentiates to Pro from the consumer version. For the consumer they know what they are getting this way and have some comfort Optimum is standing behind their product. They can check status of their warranty online too. Without the warranty your assuming the installer used Pro. This was not the case as some installers were passing off 2.0 as pro.
Nope. It inside the garage every night and workday. It's outside only when I'm driving it.
XPEL was a game-changer when it came to orange peel reduction and an amazing top coat that self healed and did not dull like ventureshield did back in the day. But, when someone would ask, "Moe, would you clear bra your car"? My answer would still be only if I had to. Until, Suntek Topcoated came along. I was amazed of its clarity and how little orange peel it had. It was also the whitest film I had seen...even the best films will be slightly yellow right out of the box. So, now, if we have a client that is more concerned about the "looks" of the film and/or if they have a more challenging installation, like a Porsche GT3 bumper that we want to wrap in 1 piece without any stretch marks, we use Suntek. But, there is a downside compared to the industry-standard XPEL Ultimate...Suntek doesn't seem to be as durable when it comes to rock chips as compared to Ultimate. There is no film on the market that will satisfy ALL aspects, so you find the one that meets most of your criteria. So, once again, it comes down to me finding out the right information from my client and helping him/her choose the best film for THEIR needs. I think as a responsible professional, that's what they pay me to help them do. Offer the right choice of products, in this case two of the best performing films on the market, that solves their problem.I'm OCD and have never been a fan of PPF, hard to believe, considering I install it
Opticoat is a great product, and I think it does what its suppose to well. I've opted to go the nano route using CQuartz Finest because I like the "look" and performance that Finest gives. But more importantly, I like the solid support structure that CarPro gives its installers...I've yet to see any manufacturer come close to that level of support. In my 20 years of doing this profession, I've seen many things. I've just learned to do business with a company based on its people and their business ethics, and not solely on if they have a few great products. We've found a great network that meets those needs when it comes to CarPro.
-We just recently switched to Pro this year when we became a dealer of Optimum. Made sense for us as 2.0 is no more and we have had good success with the Optimum line. Been using 2.0 for many years though. We do carry Gloss Coating for those with a smaller budget or no need for long term protection. Had my hands on some Pro here and there over the past couple years so not exactly new to it.
-Don't really keep count but would guess hundreds by now (including other coatings).
-Nothing is better of course, I am an Opti-Coat dealer
-We are in Valencia or as many explain its near Magic Mountain.
