OC 2.0 was also applied to the wheel. You'll notice that dirt/brake dust will wash off easier. I now use less Sonax wheel cleaner to clean the wheels.
Here's a shot 2 weeks after she was OCed, it'll get shinier as it cures.

Looks awesome! What does it normally cost to get the car detailed and Opticoated? I would like to get my SF Pearl GS coated before winter.

Well it depends I guess on your detailer, as I think the car has to be spotless and would probably need paint correction since you will see that imperfection. $200-$300 again could vary as I have heard of people charging $600. Make sure the detailer knows what Opti-Coat is.

Next time you wash your car, look for heavy beading on the panels. Any area that is not beading means OC was missed on that spot. I am sure your detailer is amazing but sometime they make mistake too. Just clean the area and apply your left over OC.

I wash mine normally and top the OC with Otimum Car Wax for the extra shine. You'll love the OC's property to reject any contaminants bonding to the car.

I also use their Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax and highly recommend it.

I am in Canada, but you can get OCW from here in the US.

get some OCW also ( optimum car wax )... you can use the ONR or the OOC as a quick detailer as well as wash the car with it. you can also use the OOC, ONR and OPC as an interior cleaner... forgot, get some OPC ( optimum power clean also ) can be used on leather 3 to 1 dilution or full strength on wheels and tires. i like optimum for the versatility of the products they carry. the opti bond tire gel is the best tire dressing i have used... it has a lotion like texture and a little goes a long way, you can apply a liitle for a matte shine or a little more for gloss if you like.

I didn't know you could put two coats of opti coat? Either your detailer is B.S or he doesn't know what he is talking about.

I believe the new OC 2.0 you are ok to be layered. I think there is a post on autogeeks from chris from Optimum on this. Hope that helps and I do trust the guy as I have had other work with him since this and have seen him apply two coats no more than that. I could say I would never want to sit and apply this. I'm still happy with the work as the car beads everywhere as well as the wheels which makes the whole car look amazing after washing it. I can't go back I love this stuff.
