    My wifes aunt bought this car last week and wants me to keep it maintained for her so I talked her into Opti-Coat to make my life easier:applause:: I planned on just doing an OPC bath, clay and coating it but after getting the car and seeing the swirls the the dealer put in it :mad: I had to break out the DA.


    I gave her a bath with a mixture of dawn and OPC to make sure all the dealer sealant was gone, then it got clayed with the Magna sponge. Then I used the new OPT Polish II on a 5.5" LC flatwhite pad on my GG DA on speed 6 for 3 or 4 section passes. This cleaned us the swirls great and gave the paint a very deep wet look:worship2:. Next, a wipe down with GG pre-wax cleaner before the Opti-Coat. I coated all paint, glass, rims, and door jambs.

    Thanks guys!! I told her not to let the dealer touch it when she takes it in and I'm the only one to wash it.
