Opti Coat vs Tar stains battle video
For U create my inmost being & U knitted me in my mothers wombI am fearfully & wonderfully make
This ride was opti coat-ed 1 month ago, I decided to take a look how is the coating holding. To my surprise the owner didn't really cared about it, hasn't been washing, lots of dust & lower skirting area full of tars... almost faint but when I wash...TA DA
Unlike factory urethane clear coats, Opti-Coat does not oxidise over time and provides permanent hydrophobic surface characteristics that release water, dirt and grime so your car stays cleaner for longer.

OPTI COAT review how effortless easy & effective paint protectant
Word should be less & I will let the video explains
Opti-Coat will provide the owner with a superior clear coat film that is highly resistant to chemical etching, harder than factory clear coat to reduce swirls and scratches, and a permanent hydrophobic surface that is easier to clean and stays cleaner for longer.For U create my inmost being & U knitted me in my mothers wombI am fearfully & wonderfully make

Doctor Head lamp - RM 8000 head lamp rstoration guide by The Detailien
For U create my inmost being & U knitted me in my mothers wombI am fearfully & wonderfully make
My buddy went off overseas for some years & upon return he found his pair of Xenon Head lamp
as they have too many cars but very less of shaded place
at my previous class, I taught about about restoring oxidized Head Lamp...due to car wash ...aggressive sanding by road side ..... due to wear & tear Car detailer: The complete car care / car detailing hands on clinic by Malaysia Car Detailing guru KC's
BUT as for this pair.....it was hardly washed by others, hardly driven at night but still the damages
so, he went to check out this pair of replacement Xenon - it cost more than RM8k = USD 2600
look at the extreme close up pic (was shot by a PAS camera)
evenly chalked up by mother nature threads
completely washed out by Mother nature ( as we are in Tropical Rain forest - full with acid rains as well)
see again
extreme close up
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always like to take up impossible task, as if I fail....no one can blame me....but If i succeed ...It must be the Higher hands
before pic
after polished with PlastX Clear Plastic with rotary, both wool & foam pad at 1500 rpm
close up
ta da
....isnt that a money shot????? convincing enough
another extreme make over
close up shot
see again
close up
how can I just walk away (closing a blind eye) - although it only took me less than 30 minutes to get each side done.......
I CHOOSE NOT.... but FACING THE GIANT Facing the Giants - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
inspired and reminded by this movie......i took up the challenge
for the next 4 hours.....
taping the side of the paint & chrome parts.....ensuring it is protected when sanding take place - safety come first
1. after taping non affected area (3-4 ply of taping)
2. SANDING begin Lube with ONR (invest in a sanding backing plate - i trim in smaller for these curvy areas)
2a. Begin with - 1500 grit
2b. followed with - 2000 grit
2c. Finish off with -2500 grit
* use abundance of water - helps alot
an evenly sanded pic
Restoration continues with polishing off
Compounded double side wool Pad then Step down to 3" wool pad @ 1500 RPM rotary
finishing off with polish - foam pad & 3" polishing pad @ 1200 rpm finishing at 600 rpm
from here
ta da
it was COATed for protection
it does a little but...it is the harsh enviroment - tboth heat from interior shines out & exterior...adding to side washing..TA TA
therefore ......once we have leveled up the paint .... now we have to permanently coat it again, where as all commercial either repaint it with clear coat (in no time it will crack, as heat transfer out from inside - oxidized )... that was the reason it sort of came back
Tbut for me I will opti coat permenantly
Opti-Coat (Opti-Guard) is a hard wearing, ceramic clear coat for superior resistance to scratching (9H) and chemical etching from environmental impacts. It provides permanent protection.
A layer of Opti-Coat measures approx. 2 microns in thickness, or about 100 times thicker than your typical wax or sealant. Unlike paint protection sealants such as PTFE, Nano Sealants, GlassPlexin that degrade over time and are easily removed through washing with water or chemicals, Opti-Coat does not degrade and cannot be removed by chemicals such as heavy duty truck weash or even caustic degreasers. It is totally resistant to these chemicals and produces a permanent film that is chemically bonded with the factory paint layers.
tested with fire - xenon lighting
I could have save my time & effort by walking away.....
choose this day
to face or not to face......that thin line make a huge difference....
thanks for viewing again

2 factor contributing to such oxidations,
firstly the roadside foam wash (harsh chemicals & sponge use during washes) often this sponge soaked & filled with dirt, grim and sand that is not wash away became - TA DA sand paper) try to send for just one wash on just detail black car and check out the finishing
this is the 2 most thrased exterior part of the car (our halogen uses heat the filament to a greater degree create light during night use -Reflector optics) and sun during the day..and combine with the roadside sand paper wash..ta da.. it is just like scrapping off the UV resistance protector, worst still if it is Projector (polyellipsoidal) with a High-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps
