Opti-Coat Pro is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic coating made for protecting paint. When applied on top of the factory clear coat it bonds to that factory coat and intensifies gloss, adds paint protection for the vehicle while adding protection from other substances. Opti-Coat Pro repels water and increases the gloss of the vehicle’s paint. It is not a wax or a sealant; rather, it is a ceramic coating that provides superior protection for the long-term. Opti-Coat Pro is much thicker than conventional waxes and does not have to be applied several times a year. The Opti-Coat Pro pre-polymer cross links, and form a continuous protective film on the painted surface to which it is applied to. As well, because of its formula Opti-Coat Pro resists breaking down under harsh chemicals and multiple car washes. All the while, the layer of protection it provides resists the damaging effects of bugs, bird droppings, and tree sap. So, while it ensures ceramic paint protection, Opti-Coat Pro also enhances gloss on the coated surface. Further, it is hydrophobic and resists water from sticking or staying on the surface of the coated surface. Also, because Opti-Coat Pro has better chemical resistance and release properties than any automotive paint coating in use, it provides permanent protection for all modern factory paints and can also be used to protect metal and hard plastic surfaces. Its chemical resistance ensures that Opti-Coat Pro prevents damage from potential oxidation and harsh UV rays.
