Delmar Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hey folks. I have 3 questions for the experts. 1) I work in an area that does outdoor spray painting (shipyard). Even though I park about a mile from the spray area, overspray is still an issue. Considering I have to clay the paint fairly regularly is Opticoat recommended? Would the claying kill the opticoat negating the benefit or would the opticoat make the overspray removal easier? 2) What is the best Optimum product for removing bugs and tar? Optimum Power clean? At what ratio? 3) If I don't go with Opticoat, and all else being equal, which lasts longer, Optiseal or Optimum Car wax? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowejackson Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sorry, no idea about your first question. Q2. I have used OPC on bugs at roughly 5:1 without any problems. Q3. In my experience Opti-seal lasts longer than OCW although I frequently use both products at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddj Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 #1 I had major overspray on my car. I had to use very aggressive clay to get it all off, 8hrs of claying. In some spots it seemed to take off the Opti-Coat. However, my car was my very 1st car I coated, so i'm sure it wasn't as thick as it should have been, etc. BTW that was 4yrs ago, so it did last a long time. Removing the overspray was much easier due to Opticoat. For areas I didn't coat, it was brutal to remove the overspray. #2 Depends on the volume of bugs, i use OPC at 10:1 with great success. #3 optiseal all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmar Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks for the info guys. Does the OPC, with the ratios you suggest, work on tar as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
