Volkswagen Golf Alltrack - Opti-Coat Pro+

Finally…time for my own vehicle! My Alltrack was involved in a small collision back in January which resulted in the rear bumper and hatch being replaced. It was the end of February by the time the repair was completed and for me, the rule of thumb is to wait about 30 days after paint before coating. Well, those 30 days turned into almost three months and here we are.

After a decontamination wash, the rear bumper and hatch were polished to prep the surfaces for coating. I am so thankful to have had Josh at Croll’s Customs do the work and there wasn’t any major correcting that needed to happen. Now the back matches the rest of the car and I could finally put on the OEM bumper protection plate to make sure nothing dings up the bumper. Lastly, I coated the new tires with Optimum Tire Protection and Coating for six months of shine.

Greg purchased OEM Golf R Variant European LED tail lamps and adapters from me on Black Friday and waited patiently for them to come in. He opted to drive down to have them installed and coded, which I happily obliged. The R Variant tails are tinted compared to the non-R Variant tails, which definitely looks way nicer on this color Alltrack!

Volkswagen Alltrack - Coating

The time finally came for me to coat my own Alltrack with Opti-Coat Pro+! I waited way too long to do this but thankfully, due to proper maintenance and using Optimum No Rinse and Opti-Coat Hyper Seal, there were not many defects to correct at all! Optimum Primer Polish made quick work and before I knew it, the car looked the best that it has ever looked in the seven months I have had it! This is the newest formula of Pro+ and it is still a lifetime coating with a seven year warranty, backed by Optimum Polymer Technologies.

Jeff approached me not long ago about wanting to add rear fogs to his Alltrack and since I had already done this to my Alltrack, this was an easy task. He also wanted to add the European halogen tail lamps to his car, which adds an amber turn signal to the car instead of a red one. The entire kit also included a light switch to allow for the rear fog, coding, and LED reverse and fog bulbs. Thanks Jeff, enjoy!
