If someone got a full paint correct how long does it last for?? I am not too educated on the subject, but I am thinking the paint is corrected and its up to you to not get any more swirls or water spots on it??

You are correct, if you use a 2 bucket system with grit guards. Proper micro fiber towels and a good detail spray for drying it will hold up for a long while. Once it's fully corrected if you take care of it our diamond package (wash, clay, minor paint correction, finishing polish, wax )
once a year will keep it looking good!!!!!

I have ordered the Opticoat Gloss and the Autoscrubber and a few other items, but I already spent 6 hours prepping, polishing, and applying Klasse AIO and sealant on the mustang. I may use Opticoat on the wife's car as a test bed when it cools off a bit, but I'm not stripping off all the work I did on the Mustang for a while. lol. I plan on adding a third coat of the Klasse sealant this weekend if I don't get rained out.

I'm thinking I'll do just her hood at first to see how it comes out and holds up. Her car needs so much prep that it's going to have to be applied panel by panel as time permits.

I didn't have the patience to do it, so I paid somebody else to do all the work. I'll do it myself next time...way too expensive

I don't blame you. Applying the Optinum Coat is twice as complicated as the Klasse. But lasts up to 2 years and is like applying an extra clear-coat layer.
