To opti-coat or not?

[XBOHDPuKC]

What's the collective thinking on putting opti-coat on the car? My only problem with that thing is that they are telling me I need to leave the car in a shop for up to 3 days... However a trip is coming up, so I might just do that.

I never believed in all those aftermarket sealers. If they were actually that good in doing half of what they claim the manufacturers would use it. Not for me, old fashion wash and a good coat of hand rubbed old fashion wax is a time proven product in my eyes. Also gives one a chance to really go over the car every 6 months or so to see any type of minor damage paint that needs to be taken care of

Use the search function. There are several threads about this. Some people on this forum are very happy with their opti-coat, but I personally don't know much about it.

Opti-coat is a product for those who want hardened durable protection on their vehicle. Wax and basic sealers are for those who want that show quality finish. Not that you can't have it with both, but once you apply a glass/ceramic sealer, it's a different game.

I have a show car... I don't use glass sealers. However, I am a HUGE Fan of them.

It all depends on you, your needs and what you feel is best for your vehicle.
