Here are a couple of videos shot with my phone of the hydrophobic properties of the Coating formerly known as "X." In the video I say that it's at 3 months, but it's actually 4-4.5. It was 3 months since the last update video I did shich was after a month. I did add a coat of CG 50/50 paste wax to the coating since the last video, but the wax will NOT bead like this on its own.

I just said that because they are calling it Optimum Coating now, I'm not sure what the production name will be.

i can't wait to be able to apply it to cars, but FK1's #1000 will do the same sheeting.

Awesome non the less.
