Ceramic Pro vs. Opti-Coat

I am considering one of these two products and am interested in comments from those that have experience or knowledge of either. The Ceramic Pro offers a lifetime warranty however Opti-Coat is only 7 years.

My suggestion is that you read both of the companies warranties and then make an educated decision on these. I think you will surprised by both of the warranties from these two companies.

Have you selected your installer? If not, I recommend selecting your installer first. Their skill (the prep work they do prior to coating) and how well they take care of their customers after the install matters more IMHO.

I had an option to go with opticoat or cquartz finest reserve and went with cquartz. Very happy with the results, looks very wet and glossy. As most people have mentioned, select your installer wisely. It's all in the installer and the prep work. Good Luck!

Yup great choice. I wish I had went with cquartz but I didn't realize they were the best at the time. What was the price difference between the 2?

Sorry, don't recall if there was a price difference. Went with what the installer recommended.

Throw Modesta in the ring as well, if you are comparing.
