    this review is for application and water test next day.
    the aplication is easy , if you are familiar with opti-seal than this should be easy for you.
    the prep is where you have to take your time.
    the car was polished before coating. is a daily driver , 50k miles/2 years so don`t judge me by my car.
    back to opti-coat , the seringe i got has 40cc , and i think i can cover between 16-20 cars , 1 application each.
    overall the paint feel very smooth , looks pretty sharp not sure if has wax or seal effect. probably more into the seal look.
    after polish steps the car was wipe down with alchool , and foam-gun with dawn.
    once dry i apply opti-coat with foam pad.
    the vid is from next day and as you can see the paint is left almost dry.
    i am very happy with this product and look fw to see the durability.

    Nice review. I did a comparison wash between OC and Aquartz. I found them to have slightly different properties and the OC really rocks when you take a leaf blower to it.

    I get the same water beading / shedding results when using Collinite 845.

    Collinite is an excellent product, no question. It does not sheet as well as the OC does. Taking a leaf blower to it dries it almost completely whereas the Colli still needs some blotting. For the money, it CAN'T be beat. I believe this product will last longer, although it is more money. Collinite remains the best value in paint protection, period.

    Oh yes, but not after 12+ months with abuse from trafic film removers and heay cleaner shampos.

    True, nothing I have used lasts much more than 4 months if you use strong shampoos.
