Ktran Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Hello everyone, My car is at the shop getting coated with Opticoat Pro plus. The shop told me it will be done by tomorrow;however, the weather forecast says it will rain for the next 3 days. I don’t have a garage and the car will be parked in driveway. Would the rain damage the coating? I have read on internet that it only needs 12 hours to cure but some also say it needs at least 7 days to cure. Will it be okay if my car park outside with the rain or should i find a storage and park it there for couple of days? Thank you in advance. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 congratulations on investing in the best ceramic coating! What you've heard is correct - the installer will keep the car for 12 hours so the surface can cure, after that it can be driven/parked in any conditions. The 7 days without washing (solvents) is so the chemical resistance can fully develop. After 7 days, you are ready for anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it be okay to leave water spots on the car since I have to wait 7 days without washing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 You can use No Rinse to wash off water spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
