The owner wanted to protect his new ride and having been disappointed with another brand of coating which only lasted a few weeks. He decided to go with Optimum Opti-Coat.

The coating only serves to protect the paint below. Any coating applied to uncorrected paint would only serve to permanently seal in any paint defects. The quality of result is dependent on the paint being fully corrected before the coating is applied.

As this was a new car with only 150km on the clock, this should have been a fairly straightforward paint correction before coating..... should have been...

As with the Porsche GT2 Detail, I was joined by Mun aka muyo of Hypergloss.

The car had the usual dirt and grime...

Which was easily cleaned up with Optimum No-Rinse.

Especially when used with the Optimum Opti-Mitt.

The wheels were surprisingly dirty.

Easily removed with Optimum Power Clean.

Except for these stains....

Which had seeped into the pores of the paint and could not be removed...
