There is a version they only sell to authorized installers. That is the pro version.

I might be getting the names wrong, but there is a retail line and a pro line. The pro line flashes faster and is more difficult to apply.

I took the car out for a cruise on some twisty roads and decided to stop and snap a couple of photos of the car in different lighting conditions this time.

I got some more pictures to share. Ken at Autowerkes Exclusive who detailed my car sent over pictures he snapped while it was at his shop. Enjoy some pictures of the car with indoor lighting.

Sorry for the pic spam.

Richard, the car looks fantastic! Clear markers really make it 'flow' a lot better. Very nice.

Money2536: OptiCoatPro is sold only to authorized dealers/pro detailers. It has a longer warranty/life than 2.0 and is a little bit more difficult to apply.

Thanks. It really does make the car look at lot cleaner. The orange stood out too much.

Sun visor sticker removal DIY

Rain today, so I decided to do a small mod. I did get out for a drive this morning and will have a new video up, maybe tomorrow.

In Canada, our sun visors have a safety sticker on them and I wanted to take it off.



Here are the supplies I used:



2 x microfibre towels
99% Isopropyl alcohol
rubber gloves

I have cotton swabs in the photo, but you don't need them. You might want to keep a paper towel around to catch some of the sticker bits. You'll see below.

First step is to soak a mf towel with the IPA and dab it all over the sticker. This will soften the sticker a bit. Then with the mf towel, start rubbing on one of the corners until it starts to lift.



From this point, just keep dabbing the IPA all over the sticker and slowly rub from the edge that has lifted. The sticker is a bit sticky and really thin, so it might break, that's ok, like all good things in life, keep rubbing and you'll like the end result.





Eventually, your sun visor will look like this:



Then you can use your interior cleaner and condition the sun visor and you're good to go.

Gloves aren't necessary, but this is what mine looked like after the process.



The process is one of patience, but a fairly simple task.

Also, don't forget to open your door or window so you have ventilation.

Richard

Nice. I was thinking about trying to buy visors without the warnings. I'll be doing it tomorrow!

Yeah, no need to buy a new visor. This was a simple mod, and it only cost me $3.50 for the bottle of IPA.

Here's a more detailed look of my car.

I realized there's still no videos of me driving it, so that'll have to be next if I can get some help.
