    If you want a worthwhile paint protectant with amazing wat beading on a daily driver which lives up to the hype go with opti-coat 2.0. You can apply it yourself following the directions if familiar with detailing or have a professional place do it, it's not all that expensive.

    Opti-Coat is awesome and maybe the hottest car finish going right now. I bought it on eBay but can't find anyone locally to apply it. One detailer said he would do it in my driveway. Pass.

    Still looking.

    I just used Collinite 845 wax on my Subaru last fall. Still beads up real nice. Hopefully getting a coat on the Prius this weekend after failing last weekend.

    Check out Youtube videos for Opticoat 2.0

    Pretty cool. Just tricky to apply. getting ready to do mine. Going to take a shot at the front bumper this week end see how it goes. Lot of pre surface prep though.
