Default Opti Coat on White?

Guys I'm getting my car next month and going w Xpel on the front and was "considering" opti coat. Anyone with a white car want to tell me about their experiences? I'm not doing the entire wrap (everything in front of the doors, rockers, ducts, and behind the rear tires).

Honestly I'm not sure about the opti-coat on a clear bra is worth it but could be convinced. Let me know your experience on white. Thanks!

Just had mine done last week. I did have it done on the bra, wheels, calipers.... Everything. Not enough time with it yet to report but it should cut down cleaning time significantly

I've got a complete Modesta coating over Xpel on my white car. More high end than opti-coat, but same concept. It works pretty great. Yesterday, I just hosed down my car with a spotless water system and dried it with a blower and it looks like it was just washed and waxed. Everything, including brake dust, came off without the need to soap, scrub, and seal.

My white C2S has OptiCoat Pro. Looks awesome and cleans easy. Love it. But I don't have any film on my car.

Opticoat Pro is good-no problem over film. I think Cquartz has more gloss though

I'm the same as Evo X, I have Modesta over XPEL and it is super easy to clean. I still need to agitate the wheels to get brake dust off (steels, no PCCB) but everything comes right off.

You can see photos on my process here.

This was my first one, but I will coat all of my cars from here on out.

How does the opti-coating on Xpel versus Modesta ?
