Opti-Coated memeber Mpsmith1's ZL1. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SSTG · 06-14-2014, 06:04 PM

Polished the exterior and applied Opti-Coat 2.0 to Mike's new IOM 2013' ZL1 he just picked up. Even though it was new it had a lot of dealer induced swirl marks that needed to be removed before applying the OC.

I also installed CF vinyl on the Bow Ties for him as a Surprise.

What a Beautiful machine GM produced!

Looks good SSTG.!

Sweet ZL1 !

Looks great! Where did you get the carbon fiber vinyl?

My business partner owns Night Shades.

Thanks for the compliment.

I LOVE that color. Looks really sweet.

Thanks everyone... Seth did an amazing job on my car. I can't say enough about the quality of his work. It's unreal and I can't wait to get it out in the sun tomorrow. And believe me, he's understating the condition he received it in. In addition to the swirls, it had a number of scratches and nicks in it... Some of which I didn't even notice until he pointed them out. I decided to have him fix all those issues before applying the Opticoat. It was a great decision, because the paint is now flawless AND protected!!!

Do yourself a favor, and send your car to Seth (SSTG) for detailing... It'll come back better than new.

I love the way my car looks after SSTG applied opti-coat to mine !

Hard Parker · 06-15-2014, 01:14 PM

Can you explain what Opticoat is to me?

Just washed it... Seems like the dirt falls off a bit easier and the shine is mesmerizing! (Sorry about all the other cars in the photo, but the light was hitting it just right from this angle!)

I just applied the OC to my car this weekend in preparation for Sturgis and it looks fantastic. I buffed and polished everything first them applied it to everything including the wheels. But I didn't go over the areas I have XPel on. I wasn't sure how that would turn out so I'm waiting on those areas until I find out more information. Has anybody else done these areas on their car? You won't be disappointed with the results! This is the first time Iv'e used this product and so far I'm impressed!
