Guest jcmg8 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Finally getting around to applying my opti-coat2.0 and likely opti-gloss (second vehicle) once it arrives tomorrow. When I picked up the opti-coat, I read I could use meguiars ultimate compound as long as my last product was optimum finish polish. A IPA rinse would not be required as long as I used the finish polish prior to Opti-coat. Is this still valid statement? Same for opti-gloss application? For opti-coat, wait 1 hour between coats? What is the realistic lower application ambient temperature? Downside to cooler temp - slower solvent flash? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 You need to be careful using the Meguiars (products are heavy with oils that inhibit bonding) - using Optimum Finish (or Hyper Polish), followed by wiping any residue off with damp microfiber would allow you to skip IPA. Method is the same for 2.0 or Gloss-Coat. Apply the second coat anytime between 30 minutes and an hour is optimum. We don't recommend applying at temps below 40 degrees and flashing/curing is slowed in cooler temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
