Picking up an ST-2 Focus next Tuesday. Purchased from a main dealer.
It's a '57 plate EO ST, low miles..25k.
I'm having the Gen 3 Glass Coat applied to the bodywork/paint. Any views on this, anyone else had it applied?
Advertising blurb sounds good.

Hmm..£299, it was an option...the guy was a good salesman.
Now I know that, is it any good??

Doesn't sound very encouraging.. I have put a deposit on this ST, but have yet to view. So if has been applied by an under 8 toilet attendant..I will walk away.
The guy said they treat most of their cars and it's very professional. It's a VW dealership in Derby.

If you're spending that much at least take your money to someone like KDS or Miracle Detail to get G-techniq/Modesta/Carpro/Geyon or Polish Angel Cosmic applied.

It will last longer, look better and will have a much better warranty.

I applied Opticoat 2.0 to my old car and it really did reduce wash marring and was going strong for over 18 months despite me using wheel acid to remove some really bad water spots.
This has a supposed 5 year warranty.. and it's a little late now.
Appreciate the useful information though.
