optiguard, more dusty afterward?

maybe it's just because i have a dark color car, but it seems like after getting optiguard, dust sticks to the car more than before. anyone else notice this?

Not sure. 22PLE is supposed to be better with dust.

I topped my optiguard with Sonax Polymer Netshield and this seems to help.

thanks, apparently with some of these coatings there is more static on the surface, hence more dust is attracted and sticks. i'm going to try Chemical Guys Speed Wipe Spray Anti-static Quick Detailer.

if you want something really good to top a coating you should try the Sonax Polymer Net Shield.

check out the beading.


Its been getting extremely good results!

Optiguard - how do you find a detailer/dealer for this and how long is it supposed to last?

I have noticed this as well, especially on the rear. Bought the SONAX, going to put it on after the next bath
