    What a lovely color this is. Overall the car was in very nice shape, but unfortunately, there more RIDS than I'd like to see on a brand new car.

    Because the owner chose Opti Coat Pro as protection, this finish will never need another detail. All one needs to do is follow a few easy steps maintaining the finish and the return is like getting a newly detailed look after each wash.

    In any case, here is the car when I arrived at the dealership to do the work. The owner has not seen the car, it will be displayed on the showroom until final delivery next week.

    Polishing process:

    HD ADAPT to cut
    Optimum PRIMER to finish and prep
    OPTI COAT PRO
    Tire shine was courtesy of the dealer

    All done

    You always do a great job producing eye candy for sure. Another great result.

    I wanted to ask you the difference between the results of OC pro amd OC 2.0 after about 1 year. I am noticing a drop of in beading in the 2.0 but after a wash I know there is still protection because the surface releases the dirt very easily and like you say the after the wash results are still excellent. Plus the finish has stayed remarkable mar free.

    I just wish I could hold onto the super slick finish and beading longer. Is the OC pro better in either area?

    Any tips for restoring the beading to 2.0? M

    Thanks
