    Are you recommending Opti-Coat?

    How do you maintain Opti-Coat? Just washing and no wax needed? I'm using Meguiar's Gold Class Car Wash with the Chemical Guys Chenille Microfibre Premium Scratch-Free Wash Mit.

      For those who have the highline and have tinted the front two windows, is there a noticeable difference with the tinge?

      One friendly tint company has informed me that the tinted glass has a blue/green tinge whereas the window films have a charcoal appearance. I've tried googling for an image but cannot find any. I haven't received my car yet, but I've been told it would be at the end of this month!!!! I cannot wait any longer!

      Is there a particular window film brand that you guys recommend?

      The OCD in me wants to have a car that looks complete.

        I never knew window tinting was so complicated

        Looking at Rob from Hunters Hill website, seems so confusing! But he's so close to me so might consider him if someone can explain what a beginner needs to look for in tinting.

          so has anyone here tinted the sun-roof even though I have been told that it was already tinted from factory and that doing so will damage the glass? I am somewhat pessimistic about whether that thin piece of blind between the interior and the sunroof will provide enough protection long term from the sun here in WA. It may be an annoyance but I think I will just cover up the seats with water, bacteria, mold and UV resistant seat covers during summer and off road activities.

            Check out pomponazzi treatment if your looking for a good quality glossy long lasting coating
            Tho my detailer did tell me if your going to have the car for 4 years then flip it don't bother not worth the cost!
            As mine is a long term 10+ year car and due to circumstances will be outside almost 24/7 and red which fades to me its worth the 2k cost which is btw what the vw dealer quoted for a coating through them i did some research could get the same coating for $350 what a rip off dealer crappy protection
            So there are plenty of coatings out there check em out
            On the forums i have a pomponazzi thread open
            Tho be aware that the opticoat fanbase/application suppliers
            Are vry aggressive in the forums to defend/promote thier product check around find out for yourself

              So I am in two minds whether to get my yet to arrive Tiguan coated in Opti-Coat Pro+ or Ceramic Pro.

              I have a couple quotes and they both cover Opti-Coat/ Ceramic Pro to all external painted surfaces, external plastics, glass, wheels (face and inner wheel), internal leather, fabrics, dash & plastics plus window tinting - basically THE LOT.
              1. Opti-Coat - $1700
              2. Ceramic Pro - $2475 - 2 coat exterior application - 6 microns (currently waiting on a second quote that I believe should come in far more competitive)

              From your experience are the above quotes reasonable? At the moment I'm leaning toward the Opti-Coat package even should the Ceramic Pro price come down several hundred dollars as from what I've read Opti-Coat seems the better product. I know this has been debated forever and a day - just thinking out loud here

                Hey Miilos

                I had pomponazzi coat applied to my car last week its pretty good you might want to look at it as well

                The opticoat wont be as glossy as either ceramic pro or pomponazzi its a flat protection where the quartz ones will give a really deep gloss
                I could shave in the reflection off my car(tornado red)
                There are threads on opticoat vs ceramic pro and pomponazzi in the detailing section

                (dont forget the most important thing is the paint correction before the protection coat goes on if there are any marks underneath once coated they will be there for the life of the coat i.e a long time)

                Best of luck with your new toy i am loving mine

                  Hi guys,

                  I'm considering Gyeon Quartz protection for the Tiguan once it arrives. Still not fully decided though.

                  Wanted to see what you guys thought.
                  My situation is that the car will be garaged most of the time. It'll be well looked after and I plan to keep it for 7-8 years at least. I won't be washing it myself but plan on getting a hand wash done every month perhaps (won't do too many k's).

                  Do you think the protection is worth it?
                  Also would it provide extra gloss? Could it change the "look" of the colour in the sun or indoors? Deeper/richer?
                  The colour I'm getting is metallic tungsten silver.

                  Keen to hear your thoughts.

                            No,but if you're spending $60K on a fully rigged Tiguan, $2K is worth it.

                              I've had Opticoat to my Golf's exterior panels, wheels and windscreen. Makes cleaning the car a tonne easier, good for me when I just want to hose the car down.

                              I've decided to go this route again for my new car instead of PPF...until I change my mind again lol.

                                That's what I thought.
