Hello,

picking up my 2015 uw/rr is250 fsport tonight

thinking about doing opti coat, but some say it will turn yallowish over time

what do you guys think about doing opti coat on uw.

if any pics, i would appreciated

thank you

 

I have it on my starfire pearl, and love it. I recommend.

 

thank you

your car looks great

 

I bought the 22ple and let you know and post pic after i am done.

 

I'm having Opti Coat professionally installed this Saturday. If I remember, I'll take a pic and post it here. In my research, I honestly don't think I have come across a bad review or opinion of the product.

 

Opti Coat is a very good thing to do to those cars up North. I have seen one UW with a yellow tint to it , however it was lack of care of the car.

 

thanks for the info guys!!!

 

This us my UW/rr is 350 after 22pke was applied.

 

Wow thank you

 

opti coat pro on mine

 

Looks amazing
How hard was it to apply on?

Thank you

 

Opti-Coat certainly will not fade to a yellow...

Paint coatings are a fantastic choice for any car, new or used. They offer incredible protection and durability compared to traditional waxes and sealants and will make routine maintenance washes MUCH quicker and easier.

I am a professional detailer who specializes in paint correction and protection and work with these paint coatings on a regular basis. I am authorized installer for Opti-Coat Pro and other high end coatings.

I tend to prefer other coatings over OC most of the time due to the enhanced appearance, however if you are simply seeking maximum protection, OC is the way to go I suppose. Just beware, there have been many changes to the Optimum industry lately, one of which is that their consumer coating (Opti-Coat 2.0) has been discontinued and Opti-Coat is now only available through authorized professionals. They have a new consumer product called Gloss Coat that is not a permanent coating like Opti-Coat is. Just be sure you are working with an authorized professional who is certified to purchase and use Opti-Coat pro, otherwise you are not getting Opti-Coat.

If you were planning on installing a coating on your own, the prep work is extremely critical. The vehicle should be properly washed, decontaminated (iron removal, tar removal, clay bar), minimum of a light polish, the surface should then be cleansed with diluted isopropyl alcohol or a product like CarPro Eraser, and then the coating can be applied to the surface.

I have had 22ple VX1 Pro applied to my vehicle for about 2 years now and it still looks incredible.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me

(Also, I see that the OP is in Illinois... I am in Peoria, IL... if you are nearby I'd be happy to chat with you in person)

EDIT: Here is an article I wrote discussing some of the Benefits of a Paint Coating

Here are some photos of vehicles with different consumer (ie available to everyone, not just professionals) paint coatings....
