9. Vehicle Accident Damage

Contact your vehicle insurer to ensure your paint protection is included in your insurance cover package. If the vehicle sustains damage and reapplication is required, contact Zen Automotive Suppliers or your Opti-Coat agent to arrange any additional treatments.

OPT (Opti_Coat) is not your typical dealership paint protection.  OPT bonds permanently with the factory clear coat, protecting the surface for life and will not delaminate.  The coating measures 2 microns, which is 100 times thicher than other PP’s and waxes.

This means that OPT can take a hit and absorb damage unlike other coatings.  It is also completely resistant to acidic environmental substances such as bird droppings and tree sap.  The 9H Opti-Coat hardness will stop your paint from etching and further damage.

No, Opti-Coat is very different and is much more durable, involving far better nanotechnology.

Most dealerships use Motor1 paint protections, but each dealership has a different name for the same product.  Opti-Coat has been around for over 10 years, made in USA and it continues to evolve, making it the spearhead in the ‘paint protection’ industry.
