Coating Results Start Before the Bottle Opens
OPTiX Nano is an Australian-owned coating and surface-care company built around practical workshop experience. We help DIY users and professional installers choose the right coating, prepare the surface properly, apply it under controlled conditions and maintain it without shortcuts. The product matters, but the result depends on the person, the process and long-term support.
Choose the Right Ceramic Coating
Start with the surface, the applicator and the working conditions. OP888 is the controlled starting point for capable DIY users and installers. FMJ suits experienced applicators who can manage faster timing and a more demanding application. Professional-only systems belong with trained OPTiX installers.
Preparation Determines the Finish
A coating protects the finish left underneath it—it does not hide oxidation, contamination, swirls or poor polishing. Wash, decontaminate and correct the paint where required, then inspect it under proper lighting before coating. Buy only the preparation products the job genuinely needs.
Maintain the Coating Correctly
Ceramic coatings still need safe washing. Use clean tools, suitable shampoo and compatible maintenance products; remove contamination before it builds up. Avoid harsh shortcuts and automatic-brush washing. Correct maintenance protects gloss, water behaviour and the work already invested in the vehicle.

OPTiX OP888 v2 Ceramic Coating
OP888 v2 is the most approachable coating in the OPTiX range for capable DIY users and professional installers. It can be applied as a single or double layer and carries an expected service life of around three years when the surface is prepared and the coating is maintained correctly. Its longer working time makes application more manageable, particularly for users building coating experience. Durability varies with preparation, environment, washing and maintenance.
OPTiX OP1 Ceramic Coating
OP1 is reserved for OPTiX certified installers. It is used as part of the OPTiX coating system, typically over OP888 v2 rather than layered over itself. Its faster working time means lighting, temperature, panel size and removal timing must be controlled. Customers wanting OP1 should choose an OPTiX certified installer who can assess the vehicle and carry out the preparation, application and aftercare correctly.
OPTiX FMJ Graphene Coating
FMJ is an advanced coating option for experienced applicators. Its stickier feel and faster flash compared with OP888 v2 make controlled conditions and disciplined panel timing important. Apply it only after complete decontamination, correction where needed and a clean final inspection. Choose FMJ for its finish and application system—not as a substitute for preparation.
Wheel Coating: Start with OP888
Rim Coat has been discontinued. We now choose OP888, OP1 or FMJ according to the wheel finish, applicator experience and the result required. OP888 is the safest choice and our recommendation for beginners. OP1 sits in the middle and is reserved for OPTiX certified installers. FMJ can produce an excellent result on satin wheels, but it should only be used by an experienced applicator who understands that application errors can be difficult or impossible to reverse. If you are unsure, use OP888.
