BBS Wheel Coating

I am so thankful to Alex for the deal he gave me on this set of BBS COs. They are almost new and I wasted no time with coating them with Optimum Gloss Coat to give me 2-3 years of protection. The tires are also for sale and if you are interested, please contact me. They are 235/40R18 Nitto Motivo with 9/32 tread.

Opti-Guard Fabric

Here is a non-car related post but it is just as important. My last couch was old and sadly one of my cats decided it was better used as a litter box than as a couch. It had gotten to the point that the couch was ruined and couldn't be cleaned anymore. We picked up a new couch and I immediately coated the faux-leather (microfiber) couch with Optimum's Opti-Guard Fabric coating. This is an awesome coating that bonds with the fabric to provide protection for up to five years. This is a perfect solution for the carpets and cloth seats in your vehicle and I just happened to find a separate use for it.

Opti-Coat Pro+ vs Bird Feces

My wife came home from work one day with a nice big section of bird feces. Normally, this would have concerned me because it had sat out in the sun all day at work. But knowing that the car has Opti-Coat Pro+, I was at ease knowing that the UV inhibitors in the coating prevented the feces from bonding and causing harm to the clear coat. A few sprays of Optimum No Rinse on the panel and onto a clean microfiber cloth made for a quick clean up with no scratching or marring.

Audi A4 - Coating

I finally took the time to apply Optimum Gloss Coat to my A4. My A4 is a leased vehicle and I wanted to apply a coating that will still protect the paint but only for the duration of my time with the car, maybe a little longer. No one wants to pay for something that they don't get to benefit from so applying a 7 year coating (Pro+) to a 3 year lease may not be appealing to most. Now I will be able to easily maintain the exterior of the car until the end of my lease!

Volkswagen Golf R - Coating

Time for the fourth generation of Golf R to appear in my garage for a cleaning! Janine brought her Mk4, I have a Mk5, Eric brought his Mk6 twice, and now Alex's Mk7. If you don't know anything about Golf R32s and Rs, just know that they are limited in production and that they usually have every option available from the factory. This makes them the most expensive in the trim line of Golfs.

Alex was tired of waxing the car and we discussed a more permanent option. We decided on Opti-Coat Pro; this will give the Golf R five years of protection from organic matter and harmful UV rays. I will say that I was very happy with the outcome and that so was Alex. It is a good feeling to know that your investment is protected for the next several years, not months.
