Coatings- Opto Coat Pro Plus/ Gyeon/ Kamikaze

A lot of it comes down to the actual detailer doing the process if you are not doing it yourself. I would have a look at Cquartz coatings as well, they are quite amazing. I have been with them for many years now and they are very strict on who is picked to be in their program unlike many of the coating companies out there. Depending where you are located, you can find someone with Cquartz to detail your car.

Dan - I have used Gyeon and Kamikaze. Both have worked very well, but my preference has been with Kamikaze due to how simple it is to use. I have also used the Cquartz Dlux and it performed great. In the end, I think they all perform at a similar level if applied properly. If you are having someone do it for you, talk with them and look at their work. If you are doing it yourself, then I would use Kamikaze Miyabi coat simply because of how easy it is to use. This is just my opinion. Good luck

 

I have Gyeon and am very pleased. It was recommended and done by my detailer.

 

+1 Kamikaze. Coated our 360 28 months ago after a two stage paint correction. Did myself after a lot of research and acquisition of the right tools. Car came out stunning and still looks great. I think a key to longevity is use of Kamikaze's "Overcoat", which is their sacrificial topcoat. (Which will work with any coating) Every month or so and it works wonders. Takes maybe 15 minutes to apply. Whole lot easier than wax.

 

Another great maintenance sealer for coatings is CarPro Reload.

 

Dan, I see you are in Medina. We aren't too far here in New Albany just outside of Columbus. Please reach out if we can be of assistance. We brought GYEON and Kamikaze to the US market (and are the sole US distributor for Kamikaze.)

The coatings definitely come down to purpose and personal preference. We lean towards GYEON Mohs for daily drivers and vehicles where durability is a factor. Kamikaze is otherwise our go-to for pretty much everything. (still durable) The ease of use and results are what sets it apart from other coatings.

 

My personal favorites are Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Cquartz Finest Reserve.

I generally stay away from Opticoat since they are not picky at all with choosing which installers they give it too. Runs a higher risk of having a bad installer.

 

Thanks for this post. Do you recommend a specific coating for a 328 with single stage paint. The car is primarily a show car and kept in a climate controlled environment.

If your 328 is red or yellow we would recommend ISM.

For a black Ferarri we suggest Miyabi.
