Another data point - My detailer likes Opti Pro Plus. He applied it to my GT4 Saturday, the car is getting XPEL on the front today and then my Opti again on top of that.

I've had the Opti (no film) on my Tesla and I love it.

If I understand you right, you are saying you will have ocp under the film, yes?

I advise you not do this. Xpel also advises you not do this. It will not void your warranty but it is advised to not do this: http://www.xpel.com/paint-protection...questions-faq/

Has anyone heard of using Cquartz on the windows. I hear it is quite effective and safe.

Any comments on this would be appreciated.

I've scheduled a c-coating. Cleaning my car after track days is a serious PITA. My guy has recently switched from Opticoat to IGL. Is anybody familiar with IGL's products? It's big in Europe but not much info available stateside....

There's something I don't understand about how the nano coatings work ontop of a ppf.

Coatings of measurable thickness are applied on top of the self healing top coat, yet it is said that the self healing property is still there.

It doesn't make sense how a scratch that does not exceed the thickness of the nano coating will heal.

Anyone care to explain this?

I think they just mean that if the scratch were to go through the coating and down to the ppf, it would then still self heal.

With the coating you do have an extra layer of protection, so the ppf may not need to self heal because it was never affected if the scratch didn't go deep enough.

Make sense?

Ceramic paint coating much better than an ordinary paint coating, protecting the surface of the vehicle.

Car waxed was the older equivalent. But using the newest innovation of nano ceramic coating either Ceramic Pro or Opti-Coat Pro+ ensures that you have never need and requirements of another wax for the cars.
