Alright, you guys convinced me! I went with Optimum Opti Gloss Coat (2 coats)!





Here's my process:

CarPro IronX Shampoo: I saw the red iron reaction around the wiper blades
Chemical Guys Clean Slate Car Wash to remove everything
Clay sponge

I had some light marring, a couple of swirls, etc. Very light so I tested the paint with my lightest polish and an orange pad and the Cyclo Pro 5 polisher:

Chemical Guys P40 cleaning polish- still saw scratches so I went to
Chemical Guys VSS- still saw scratches so I went to
Chemical Guys V36 and orange pad: Bingo! Almost 100% removal of scratches.
Final polish with Chemical Guys V38 and white pad

Wipedown with 15% alcohol solution

Applied Optimum Opti Gloss Coat with the included sponge applicator. Very easy application.

Applied second coat 18 hours later.

That is so reflective that when I look into it I can see my soul.

That looks great!

I'm loving my wolfgang coating, holding up really well. My truck is outside 24/7, has been washed twice since i put it on and the water sheds very nicely still, no probs.

Beading of the Opti Gloss Coat. Almost all of this blew off on the ride home with no spots!
