For Florida I get that GTechniq might be more practical, but up here in the Northeast OpticoatPro is the most common coating I hear about.
Local detailer is offering both (C1/Exo is $200 more than the OcPro) but interested in your thoughts as to which is best for our climate.... and my desire to have a clean looking car without investing a lot of time to do so. Durability/scratch resistance are super important to me, more so than maximum gloss.
FI Pete, what's your professional prescription?

Gtechniq and Opti-Coat Pro are both durable coatings but, if maximum gloss is not important to you then Opti-Coat Pro is what I would recommend you to go with..you'll save $200 up there where you're at. Keep in mind that your vehicle will stay cleaner longer and will be easier to wash with Gtechniq EXOv2 due to its superhydrophobic properties. That is my honest professional opinion and experience

Thank you very much Roland

Yes Chris, Gtechniq EXOv2 superhydrophobic coating is my coating of choice to layer the paint armor with. Later on I will be posting a Blue Tesla MS that we wrapped the entire front end with Xpel and coated with Gtechniq as well.
+1 Count me in as another happy customer. Pete does beautiful work and we love the GTechniq coating on our car. Even when I don't have time to do a full wash on the car, a quick rinse is enough to at least get the love bugs off before they can cause any damage on the paint.
Shelbri..There are many variables that can impact the total cost of a job like this one such as color of the car, condition of the paint, how much defect removal does a client wants removed and brand of coating. Prices also varies from detailer to detailer. Do your homework before hiring a detailer to work on your car.

Pete, I had my S Opticoated some time ago (early last year) but it's showing signs of wear. Would it be worth redoing with GTechniq or just buff out the small imperfections?
Did you have Opti-Coat Pro or Opti-Coat 2.0 applied on the car? I would have to inspect your Tesla and advice you on what would be the best course of action. Feel free to give me a call sometime and we can set up a schedule where you can come to my studio or I can come by your house and inspect the car :smile:

Your Signature red will need to have the CQuartz reapplied sometime next year or Choose another coating that will provide you with longer protection UNLESS you're planning to keep the car for no more than 3 more years :smile:
- Do I recommend Gtechniq over Opti-Coat? NO...reason - By layering Opti-Coat with another brand of coating you will void the warranty from Opti-Coat (If you bought it with the warranty).
- Have I applied Gtechniq over Opti-Coat? Yes. I have applied EXOv2 super hydrophobic coating over Opti-Coat Pro...BUT, I know what I'm doing and not before letting the client know that Opti-Coat will have no warranty.
- Do I recommend you to go to your detailer and have him or her do it? NO..It could be a big waste of money for you if they don't know what they are doing.
Very nice!
I wonder how the result would be if you started out with a silver metallic paint rather than black.
How much does it cost, and when are you coming to Hong Kong?
We might be able to bring up a group of owners so you can do a whole batch.

LoL Rick
Like Buttah
He will be doing a silver one at the end of the month! The plan for mine is to have the service center skip the prep and let Pete do it. Paint correction as needed, Xpel, Opticoat, and tint.
