Why would this not be enabled already?

Because VWA not supporting it.
I have it enabled in mine but I have been told VWA saying no to dealers. Not sure why, it's stupid. The system works so just enable the thing!

Well today was a good day... traded in my 13 GTI PP for a new Wolfie R in Lapiz Blue... I opted out for the sun roof as am not interested in that. Pickup is on the 18th of this month.
1st thing is it will go in for an Opti Coat Pro + treatment to exterior/interior/wheels off and fully treated/calipers and the glass all around.
After that some tint... can’t wait...

Congrats on the new ride
Have u done opticoat + on previous vehicles? Thoughts on it?

[Pete01]

Hi mate, yes have it on my GTI from day one.. in my opinion it’s a great product. Bugs come straight of, the shine is great, when you wash it the suds just flow off..have a look at some videos on YouTube...

Hey doggie

I have had my alltrack coated since new (different product than opticoat its a glass/ceramic coat) and can highly recommend it if your keeping the car longer than 4 years less than that its not worth the extra cost
I went a glass coat instead of opticoat for the glossy always freshly waxed look
Check the detailing thread i have a extensive review of my whole process from start to now (its the pomponazzi 880x thread)
Good luck with your new beast

[DoggiesUtd]

Thanks
Picked up my rline tig a month ago
But will only keep for 5 yrs max then trade
I bought a cancelled order and they tried to upsell paint protection to me
I obviously said no
But upon pick up they told me it had already been done and handed me a bucket of goodies
It beads a little in rain and cleans easy
But doesnt look like pomponazzi
Lol

That's beyond ridiculous.

Any disadvantage to enabling it?

Does it prevent swirls?

I wouldn't think so...

[Splashalot]

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn off the sensors when reversing but retain the rear camera image? When I disable the sensors the camera image disappears.

It is scratch resistant but if you want to try hard enough( i.e using a sharp metal object) you can mark it but everyday use it is remarkably resilient to damage i have had someone open their door on my passengers side and leave a mark but it came straight off with a damp microfiber cloth and no damage or scratch left behind

There are a few you tube vids on pomponazzi with people hitting coated cars with the plastic end of cigarette lighters and just wiping off the marks with no damage

Main benefit apart from scratch resistances is the always freshly waxed look and being able to hose your car off with a pressure wash to clean it dirt and dust/bird poo ect just come right off without using any cloths or harsh cleaners

When i do wash by hand i use the 2 bucket system and a ph neutral detergent but i only do that about once every 3 months i usually pressure wash 2 or 3 times a week (car sits in a dusty yard with lots of traffic so gets very dusty quickly)

I’ve been looking at Mr Detail. Uses Gyeon product. Still researching though.
