Opticoat

[roelrpt]

Ok ba magpa opticoat instead of car sealant and wax? Me feedback naba sa mga nagpalagay na mga brandnew sasakyan?

[ronki]

Punta ka sa autogeek or autopia forums sir, marami rami na rin ang nag feedback re: sa opticoat

Pero based sa mga nasa news feed ko sa fb, ok naman, yung iba kasi months palang pero going strong padin, dapat lang, kasi years ang promise ang protection ng opticoat.

I've seen some pretty impressive real-life tests of Opti-Coat - I've read several spanning more than a year, with the coating still going strong. David Fermani has one on Autopia where he had half the car coated, then spent the next two years having it washed at touchless car washes (strong chemicals) or with Dawn (Joy dish-washing detergent). Still going strong when he turned the car over at the end of the lease period.

Ayun, meron na palang thread. Sa ibang thread ako nag-post for my inquiry.

I am sort of interested din dito kasi the promise of years of protection, tapos less maintenance. Oks na oks kaya talaga ito? Or may magiging problem in the long run?

Opti-Coat is probably the most proven coating in the market today - I've read a lot of reports from various detailers from different countries praising the product's longevity. Aside from David Fermani's report above, there's also a detailer in Malaysia (so fairly similar weather to ours) who has long-term (18+ months) reports of the product - he did a half-and-half on a hood of a white car, and you can see the big difference in the Opti-Coated section vs the non-Opti-Coated one, in terms of marring, embedded dirt, shine and overall paint condition.

I see. The service offered here is kinda pricy though. Pero kung pulido at proven maayos gumawa, worth it na din siguro. I liked this because matagal na ako naghahanap ng ganitong service dito satin kaya I got excited when I learned na meron na dito sa pinas. hehe. Just need to hear some comments on their service first and positive testimonials. =)

Our 3+months old white car is currently applied on a 1 year paint protection program.

EDIT: Reasonable na pala ang price compared kay david fermani. hehehe.

We should make a bulk order in amazon.com for all of us here in tsikot who would like one to apply in their cars.
It's much better and cheaper compared to the 15-27k offered by OPT here in Philippines.
It's seems easy and simple to apply it, but you just have to prep the car properly for the best results ... so why waste 15+k if you can just apply it yourself.

We probably need someone who is in the US to ship some here or just ambag for the shipping cost.
Price is probably around 2400 if we ambag for the shipping
Link below is the cheapest I found :
Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0 Permanent Paint Coating

^ Sa Ebay sir kulang kulang na 2k lang yan.

I think sa 2013 vios thread merong nagpa-opticoat ata, I think, sa isang shop. 8k ata singil. I will check again that thread. Gusto ko din malaman how is it now, kung ok naman sa ulan2.

as far as i know OPT philippines will sell you opticoat2.0 and its quite reasonable. but what they use is OPTICOAT PRO. they are the only authorized dealer in the philippines who can apply opticoat pro. 2.0 is a consumer version lang and is nowhere near as durable as the pro version. the consumer version also doe not come with warranty.

Can you please send me the link of the thread so I can check the shop?

[MDonato]

Yup but the shipping is sometimes 3x the price of the product

1. Ravi/Optimum Philippines licenses the Opticoat 1.0 not just with them but with authorized detailing shops who have undergone training in proper application and procedure of Opticoat 1.0

2. I have no idea how much their Opticoat is. Even if I do know, I do not recommend newbie detailers to try it. Even with the longer curing time of 12hours, it's more of inexperience on how to properly apply it that's the problem.

3. Wait, does Opticoat really cost that much? 15-27k is a sum too large. Our customs isn't exactly what you call intelligent in their tax collection and how expensive is it to ship just one syringe overseas?

4. WaxSpot uses Opticoat 1.0 I believe. Not that I'm sponsoring them (I still haven't tried them despite my close proximity with them), but at 8,000php should be something that people should consider. Opticoat 1.0 is three times thicker than Opticoat 2.0 and that's a LOT of protection.

5. It may seem easy to apply. All waxes are advertised as such. But when it's time for the real application, you'll be amazed that your first few tries are actually too damn thick layering. It's like bodybuilding.. it may seem easy to simply lift weights but learning how to do proper lifting form is taught only by experience.

6. For 8K and Opticoat 1.0 coating, it actually seems pretty reasonable for your everyday ride. Considering that most detailing shops charge you 600pesos for a "wax" job that simply lasts a few weeks. However, it's not for everybody. I'll cringe at myself if I can't test out new detailing products.. and I actually love feeling my paint for the slickness a wax or sealant offers.

If you're thinking of Opticoat, you might want to look at other alternatives. Like HD Nitro

Boss, do you have waxspots number? because according to ravi they use opticoat2.0 and are not licensed and authorized. pero at 8000 thats good na, IF it really is opticoat pro.

Sorry pare pero wala. Oic, well that's weird. They were insisting it to be Opticoat 1.0 and not the more consumer-grade Opticoat 2.0 on the basis of familiarity kasi.
