gadavis6 0 Posted February 21, 2017 I just had my car done with Opti Coat Plus and looks awesome! Why is there a need to OCW on top of OPC? What is the benefit of OCW on a car that has OPC? I thought one of the benefits behind OPC was the reduction of waxing. If I do decide to OCW - will swirls show up on the OPC? Thanks! gadavis6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 219 Posted February 22, 2017 There is no need to apply Wax over a Coated car, but some installers do to protect OCP during the 7 day cure time (from water spots, bugs, etc). The surface is cured in an hour, but internal crosslinking for chemical/UV resistance takes up to 7 days. Waxing should not incur swirls and the wax will not be durable, but is a short term protection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gadavis6 0 Posted February 22, 2017 Thanks Ron - so then really the only product to apply afterwards is ONR going forward correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 219 Posted February 23, 2017 Yes, ONR for regular maintenance should be all that's necessary. If you feel obsessed and want to buy Wax or Opti-Seal, we'll be happy to sell them, but they will not appreciably change the look and will not be durable.

gadavis6 0 Posted March 5, 2017 Ron - so if I have a water hose then what's the preferred way to use the water hose and ONR? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No Soap 10 Posted March 5, 2017 If the car has more dirt on it, only then use the hose to rinse the biggest stuff (the wash is "safer" after that) and just do a ONR wash after that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron@Optimum 219 Posted March 6, 2017 No Soap answered as well as I could. You should rarely if ever need to unlimber the hose - cannot remember the last time I used one to wash a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
