[QUOTE="Boss Hoss, post: 597504, member: 4168"] Very obvious that there are some on this thread that cannot find their collective rear with both hands will not mention any names (used tampon in the dirt with water on it) however the Opti Coat stuff works for some folks and is an actual coating. As with any coating it is dependent on the type of driving that you do and the amount of solids that impact or coat the paint and how they are removed. A street queen such as some have only see street use so no real solids to impact others may have 200 lbs or more of mud and imbedded rock hanging on the exterior. As this is removed depending on how much “grinding” takes place it will wear at an accelerated pace. Mine gets waxed with a hard Carnauba (Adams Americana) at Least once a month. Not everyone can or is willing to do this but fresh “real wax” protects very well against the perils of mesquite, cedar, sumac, etc. etc. Always put the fresh wax on BEFORE the off road activities.
