OP888 is a professional-grade ceramic coating developed
OP888 is developed to support paint protection, chemical resistance, and long-term ease of maintenance on modern automotive clear coats. It forms a durable protective layer that helps reduce environmental contamination and supports gloss clarity when applied to correctly prepared paintwork.
OP888 was designed with controlled application and ease of use in mind, making it suitable not only for professional installers but also for DIY users and beginners who are prepared to follow correct preparation and application steps. The coating offers forgiving working characteristics, allowing consistent results without aggressive techniques or specialised equipment.
Rather than being a cosmetic, short-term enhancement, OP888 is intended to operate as part of a structured paint protection system. Long-term performance depends on proper surface preparation, careful application, and ongoing safe wash and aftercare practices. Like all ceramic coatings, OP888 does not make paint scratch-proof and will show wear over time if incorrect washing methods are used.
OP888 is compatible with modern OEM and refinished clear coats and can be used alongside paint protection film (PPF) as part of a layered protection approach. It is well suited to vehicle owners seeking realistic, manageable paint protection as well as professionals looking for a stable, user-friendly ceramic coating solution.
Who OP888 Is Best Suited For
OP888 is designed for vehicle owners, beginners and professional detailers who want a controlled, forgiving ceramic coating with predictable behaviour during application. When applied to properly prepared paint, it produces a clean, glass-like shine with strong surface clarity and depth. It is well suited to DIY users who are prepared to correctly prepare the surface and follow structured aftercare practices.
For mobile detailers, OP888 offers stable working characteristics without aggressive flash times, making it practical in varied lighting and environmental conditions where temperature and airflow may not be perfectly controlled, while still delivering consistent gloss results.
For workshop installers, it provides dependable levelling and curing behaviour with predictable finish quality and refined shine characteristics.
Maintenance & Aftercare
Wash the vehicle regularly using a pH-neutral shampoo and clean microfiber wash media
Avoid abrasive chemicals, sponges, or aggressive drying methods
Use compatible maintenance products periodically to support hydrophobic behaviour
Remove bird droppings, bug residue, and tree sap as soon as practical
Where possible, limit prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions
Correct aftercare plays a greater role in coating longevity than the coating itself.
OP888 vs FMJ – Which One Should You Choose?
Choose OP888 if:
• You are a beginner or DIY user • You want forgiving working time • You prefer controlled, predictable application behaviour • You work in mobile environments with varied conditions • You want a clean, glass-like shine with manageable maintenance
Choose FMJ if:
• You are an experienced installer • You prefer higher initial gloss intensity • You want stronger chemical resistance performance • You work in controlled workshop conditions • You are comfortable with faster flash times and more demanding levelling
Both coatings require proper preparation and realistic aftercare expectations. Neither coating is scratch-proof, and long-term performance depends heavily on surface preparation and maintenance practices.
I've been using the optix op888 on the last 3 cars I've ceramic coated. An honestly, so user friendly, price is amazing an the results are absolutely nuts, there's not much left to say other then just look at it
