interesting facts:

it's about as slick as Teflon at 15 dynes/cm.

my thoughts? the first thing anyone should do with a new car is wash/clay/polish/IPA wipe or Dawn wash and coat everything with Opti-Coat 2.0 sans the windshield, lol.

i also would consider a clear bra for these Subarus.
i'm with you on most of this except 2 things.. I have read that the opti-coat is as thick as 2 microns.

The other thing is that initally people were applying OC to their glass, Optimum doesn't really recommend it. I don't know why. It was in an interview I read with one of the reps for them.

I'm not sure if clear bra will even stick to OC? I've thought about it myself, but I am likely just going to go with a set of RA UR mudflaps. Some people don't like them, but it's better then sandblasted paint.
