Opti-Coat 3rd Party Test Over 2 Years

[OPT]

The full details of this thread can be found here http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-det...st-review.html

For those who don't have time for that, here's a brief overview:

Test vehicle was a new silver, clear coated vehicle. Paintwork was sanded, polished, decontaminated. A tape line was made up the centre of the car and the drivers side including glass and trim was Opti-Coated.

Over the following 2 years, the vehicle was washed with dishwashing liquid, taken through tunnel washes and basically abused.

After 2 years and just short of 63,000 miles, here is a video showing the final update. At 2:22 you'll particularly see the coating still beading strong over the bonnet and other areas further in the video with a clear line down the centre of the car showing the unprotected area. This is the longest running third party test to date.

This was actually run by a guy in the USA so we are really just hanging off his hard work!

Got to admire his dedication to go 2 years with only half the car treated.

Going to have to hit you up for more gloss enhancer soon Joel. My car gets super pampered so the Opti-Coat should last ages!

You'll have no dramas if you are caring for it like that!

Grab yourself the 946ml concentrate. You can refill your other bottle and it makes 3.8L much cheaper than buying pre-mixed

Yeah I know, already almost through my first big bottle of concentrate =)

2 weekly wash/rinse cycle then spray on pre waffle weave dry is so win!
