That really looks great even if it is just a phone photo! I was actually speaking to a detailer about the different types of coatings for my AW car. He really didn't mention anything about the optimum gloss. Is that something that goes on afterwards or is it applied instead of the 2.0?

I'm sorry, it was opti pro I had to check my notes? The closest detailer I found was in Sarasota. I may give him another call now that I've seen the OP's car. Do you know if the shine last as long as the protection or is that just wishful thinking especially here in Florida?

Beware of those who sell Gloss Coat as a replacement of Opti Coat, It replaced Opti Coat 2.0 not Opti Coat Pro...2 very different coatings now

I am the detailer you spoke to in Sarasota. The reason why I never brought out glass coat was because it's not a long term coating. Gloss coat can be applied on top of Opti Coat Pro. Gloss coat doesn't come with a 5 year warranty like Opti Coat Pro does nor C.Quartz Finest (only 2 years)..For value and protection Opti Coat Pro is the way to go UNLESS budget is not an issue..I can do Modesta BC04/BC05 or Gtechniq Crystal Serum instead.
