One year with Getchniq

BLU135i · 05-19-2014, 10:40 AM

Ok so had it applied about a year ago. Since having it applied I have washed the car four times. During the winter it was getting rinsed at least every other week, usually once a week. Car is parked outside everyday, unfortunately. This pic is after the 5th wash. Water still beads up great, very easy to wash. Car looks good even when dirty. So far so good.

Impressive! If this product lasts closer to 3 years I think I will apply this over OC 2.0 when my application wears off.

Thanks for the review!

Opticoat 2.0 isn't supposed to wear off at all. I know my evo x got tboned and the damaged panels still cleaned up nice haha.

How does one know that their Opticoat or Getchinq still works? Is it beading? Or is it the ability of water to simply slide off, leaving small beads?

I figure since it beads like crazy. Water sheets off. And it resists getting dirty very well.

Is this gtechniq EXO or C1?

I have EXO on my car and love it.
