Just applied a coat of Opti-Coat 2.0 on my 2011 Grabber Blue GT. Not the best picture but I will say it is slick as a dipstick!
Opti-Coat 2.0 on my 2011 GT

opti-coat is good. Gtechniq Exo is even better. Car looks great though !
I don't agree, but to each his own.
Its not that you dont agree...its simply that your right. There has yet to be a product to even come close to the strength and durability that OC has. Only thing better than Opti-Coat is Opti-Guard....but its the professional line thats probably 10x stronger.
Ive never used the Opti-Guard. Ive used Opti-Coat plenty. I still prefer Exo.

That turned out great.
I've used the 2.0 on several cars now. And after three or four washes I wasn't happy about the lack of slickness that the surface felt like. So I used a CarPro product on it. I had used Reload when I used Cquartz so I decided to try it on the 2.0 even though nothing was recommended as a topper. It made the surface much slicker, but it attracted much more dust. But since I wash the car quite often I will keep on using it.

The trick is to use ONR as your wash. That adds the slickness. I am a Rinseless only guy so it is a great combo. My GT never has seen a hose wash. Only ONR and one bottle of Duragloss 931 (which I actually like better than ONR).
One thing you have to remember about OC compared to things like 22ple, CQuartz, AQuartz and other nano/resin coatings is that OC is meant for Durability and Gloss Retention. So you will not get that really slick feel like other coatings, but you will get A LOT longer durability on it.
That Grabber Blue looks incredible!!!!
You can't beat the Opti-Coat/Guard performance. It lasted 2 years on my car (well 1/2 of it
) and I used nothing but Dawn Dish Detergent and harsh Touchless washes. When I turned the car in on the lease, it was beading like day 1! I really don't think ANY other product is this durable..mainly because they are only paint sealants and not a true "coating".
