It's always entertaining to see how proud owners of a shinny-just-opticoated car never follow up with pictures after a few months.
Let's review this car in 3 months  The web will be back like nothing has been put on the car. Waste of money for a glory that lasts a few (regular) washes. I would pay triple the price of the application you just did, if it would keep the paint from scratching at least a year. |
OC isn't snake oil. It's harder than the OEM clear coat so will microscratch a little less easily, and since it can be corrected like the original clearcoat, will allow for much more extensive correction if necessary without compromising the OEM clearcoat.
Additionally, the OC sheds water / dirt better than the OEM clearcoat (just like wax does), so your car will stay looking better a little longer between washes.
If you're getting sold OC as a scratch / swirl prevention device, your detailer doesn't know what they're doing.
