soundwavefd Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I plan on using Opti-Glass not only on my windshield but also my side windows and back glass. I know most people use regular Opti-Coat for side and back glass, but I want to try to coat my car twice including wheels/barrels with a single syringe of Opti-Coat 2.0 and probably wont have a lot left over. But, you get so much product with Opti-Glass, I was thinking of using that for ALL my glass? Any downside to using Opti-Glass over Opti-Coat 2.0 on side and back glass (Film thickness/rock chip resistance etc)? I was also wondering if Opti-Glass can be layered and what the procedure is for doing this in term of time etc? Thanks, Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfections Detail Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Drew, from my short testing with opti glass I'd definitely go with that on the sides, back and front window. Layering I think I saw Chris mention 24 hours. I think one thick layer is all ya need though. Work opti glass in small sections! Use more product then when you coat the paint.

Perfections Detail Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 You should NOT layer Opti Glass on WINDSHIELDS. We've found that if you apply it too thick, it may make wiper fog for a second as they pass if overapplied. Cool Chris thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundwavefd Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just applied Opti-Glass to all my glass. Do I need to throw away the microfiber towel I used to buff off the excess because of crystallization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundwavefd Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Chris one more question: I use standard winter formulation windshield washer fluid that contains some pretty nasty chemicals (Methyl Alcohol, Ammonia, etc) to lower freezing point and melt ice. Will this degrade the Opti-Glass Coating? Or is it pretty chemical resistant like Opt-Coat 2.0? If it will degrade it, I don't know what other options there are for Opti-Glass friendly washer fluids?

Paul S Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Chemicals shouldn't bother the coating. I use my old towel afterwards for a rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
