Well I booked in for Opticoat plus from Dan's Garage in Surrey Hills.
Recommended by a mate at work who got his merc done, he is quite booked out, couldn't get a booking until December 17.
It will be paint correction and ceramic coat.
Really not sure why I'm doing it, I have had my last 2 GTIs for 4 years and never had it done, the paint still looks good and I can't notice any swirl marks.
Haven't decided how long I'm going to keep the R for (all depends on what the mk 8,) looks like, but new to this paint protection thing so not really sure what to expect. I just want the paint to look glossy all the time and for a layer of protection of scratches to paint.
Anyways I'll post photos and the end of the year once done but Dan's Garage has had rave reviews online.
If you want your car to look more glossy, l would get ceramic glass like Pomponazzi. My brother Inlaw got his car done there at Dan’s and he done a very good job, but in my opinion the opti-coat doesn’t look as gloss as others products, ceramic glass coating look better. Just my 2c Worth.
I agree with eyes opticoat will protect but for that always just freshly waxed look a glass coat is the best
Even when filthy my car looks glossy!

My car comes back tomorrow from it’s ceramic pro job. Getting it all done. Will post some pics. And we can start comparing after a few months. Doubt there will be much in it. But good that we have all 3 being done.
Looks nice
How do you find the water beading? Mine still good after 3 mths
I found the depth of the paint just seemed deeper and glossy also the paint looked a shade or 2 darker did you notice the same with your car?

The water beading is pretty cool.. even had some light rain which typically just makes cars look dirty. No issues after .. some small droplets here and here but still shiny as. Dust doesn’t seem to stay on either.
I saw a minor change in depth of paint but the paint work looks better now and it is much more glossier. I washed the car in under 15min .. so easy to clean and looks like it’s been polished after just a hose down and wipe dry(water only) ..I will report back in 3 months to see if it keeps its effect. Happy so far.
Mitch from divine contacted me today i told him i was posting on this forum after i picked up and payed for car
He told me to post for those interested in getting pomp in melb to that he would give 50% off the paint correction portion of the coating process to anyone who mentions this thread to him
I am getting no kickback for it up to you guys if you do it or not
Really keen on some protection cuz i park outside as well!
Thought about the pomp vs opti-coat pro before, but given my GTI is in indium grey, I reckon opti-coat pro will prob be ok lol
Thou your red Alltrack looks amazing with the pomp! Can't wait til my GTI meets Dan at his garage in 2 weeks!
