Atomic80,
Did you do the opticoat 2.0 or the pro, i have seen both on here. I assume you recommend it. Do you still apply anything over it like wax from time to time? Did you check out any of the other systems? Considering something here when i get mine in a week, i dont mind waxing, but i want the best shine i can get thanks |

I actually DONT recommend opticoat. I recommend Matrix nanocoating. I've had that on my Porsche for 8 years now and it's STILL there and still beading and does a good job of protecting the paint. I've never had to wax the Porsche but however the Opticoat did not do a good job of protecting the paint when bird crap hit the paint. I'm hoping to get the nanocoating applied in the near future instead.

I found their website but not sure if they're still selling their stuff..if you can get your hands on these, I highly recommend them!!!!!
This is how my 997TT looked back in 2007 when it was first applied 997TT with nanocoating by atomic80, on Flickr And this is how it looks today Blue Me by atomic80, on Flickr |

Wow, the 997 still looks gorgeous! That coating truly makes the car pop with vivid color (I'm sure that's also from your photo skills - did you use the CPL at all to get rid of the reflections?). I'll look into them to see if they're still around. Thanks, my friend .

Thanks for the information, I'll ask my detailer...he's the best in my town and knows his stuff so I'm sure he's definitely heard of it. Also, I was going to comment to Z that your photography is just a fun hobby for you and smiled to myself thinking "wait till you see his other cars, lol" but I wanted to respect your privacy. Thanks for sharing those pics...all of your cars look superb .

Haha, Z., being a car enthusiast, I know how you feel. At least we're blessed/fortunate to be driving nicely modded 2014 BMW X5's .
@atomic80, . When I see others' hard work pay off, it motivates me to work even harder.

atomic80 , Nice!!!
Tempting on doing the steering wheel trim, not the whole steering wheel since I got the M paddle shifter already and the only difference was just the stitching.
