Being cheap never fails...
Hi, All-
So today I decided to do a cleaning followed up by a sealant and wax. While cleaning the car, I dropped the micro-cloth on the floor and picked it up and dusted it off. So I continued with the cleaning and applied a sealant and wax. It took me about three hours to do the entire car with the interior. After all was said and done, I noticed light scratches over the entire car !!!! I was planning to do Opti-Coat 2.0, but after the $500 price tag by a local shop, I decided to go this route. Lesson learned, will be dropping it off this weekend for a good buffing followed up with Opti-Coat with rims! I thought I would share my sad story!

Lesson learned indeed. Never use a microfiber cloth or a clay bar that has been dropped.
I think 500 is worth it, if the job is done correctly. Opti-coat is supposed to last for years.

very true indeed. never pick up micro fiber towel when drop or clay bar. our paint is very soft so we must be really careful. i have opti-coat sitting right next to me but haven't find the time to do it yet. black paint are such a pain to do but the result are so worth it after.
