Setec Astronomy Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Paul, its a great trim coating too...don't limit it to just lenses. Hey! You're supposed put that in the product info. So you would choose this instead of Opti-Coat for trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primo spaghetti Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes the added acrylic makes it thicker (covers porous surface better) and has a restorative effect (darkens and glosses).good to know... have you noticed any kind of restorative properties on plastic trim???

Perfections Detail Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Since I live in se Texas, it's love bug season and I can tell you I'm loving opti lens on the headlights!! Bugs are coming right off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ouch guys ! EASY way to make money . I am too smart to fall for it . 60 bucks ? I realize everyone wants to make money but this is absurd . I am a bit ashamed to use the Optimum line now . I refuse to use this because of price . My clients deserve the best but , when the markup on a product is 1000 % , I cannot/will not use it . MY customers deserve to be treated better than this . The Optimum line is good . Not that good ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkor Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 This should be a bulk pack . I guess the forum is only for those that do detailing as a business . Regular consumers do not need that much . From a business stand point , it is okay . Still a bit high in my opinion . Everyday people that want something for their vehicles do not wish to spend so much on something that they have no use for . It is a waste . I apologize as I thought the forum was for normal consumers . I will keep any posts I may make in the future to a business approach . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks This forum is geared toward everyone, there's tons of members that just love to detail their own cars. Opti lens can also be used on trim, so once you coat your lights, coat the trim also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Garage Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ouch guys ! EASY way to make money . I am too smart to fall for it . 60 bucks ? I purchased the 10cc version for coating the vehicles I own and some family members too. My intent was not to save it, but to use it all as soon as possible. For me, it is good value for the money.

Setec Astronomy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 60 bucks is nothing compared to what I think would happen at most bodyshops if you had hazed headlights and went in asking them to fix it--their fix would be to replace the headlights at a cost of hundreds of dollars. Even if they sanded and cleared, it would be more than $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansshin Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think $29 for half the amount would have been more attractive for typical consumer like me. I plan to use it on my new car and will apply it to headlights, daytime running lights which are separated from my headlights, fog lights, tail lights and side mirror lights. I'm also doing opti coat 2.0 and my question is could I do opti coat over the opti lens or opti lens over opti coat? I assumed opti coat over opti lens would be better option to have both benefits. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 No need to double up, use opti lens on all the plastics you listed above, plus if you have any natural (unpainted) plastics on the car (the windshield cowl comes to mind) coat those with Opti Lens as well.

dansshin Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thank you for the confirmation on the Opti Lens. I wasn't aware Opti Lens is modified version of Opti Coat. So is it ok if it accidentally get on some of the painted surfaces or do I need to take extra precaution to keep it off the painted surfaces? I can see it may get on other parts as you apply these on thin trims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
