Seems like an awesome product. Anybody had this done to their Mercedes? CQuartz Finest is the one I'm considering. Then there's a competitor Opti Coat, wchich looks similar and also very good. Any real experience here?

I had Opti-Coat Pro (ceramic clear coat) applied to my ML as soon as I got it from the Dealer. I did not allow the Dealer to touch the body during the prep process, the car went straight out to the Opti Coat Detailer. To date the car looks brand new every time I wash it, you'll never have to wax the car again.

I put Pinnacle BLack Label coating on mine. I highly recommend having a coating on the car.

I got all set up now for a guy to apply CQuartz. He doesn't do Pinnacle, afaik, but does both Opti Coat and CQuartz. He prefers CQuartz, especially for new vehicles. I hope it's worth it. All I saw on the net, it looks like this stuff is really nice.
