RV FEATURE
A typical treatment of OptiVAN includes all main exterior surfaces , with some exceptions such as the tyres and chassis components . But all wall panels ( front , sides , rear and roof ), checkerplate panels – including checkerplate storage boxes – windows , locker doors , solar panels and tail-lights are covered .
A different formula is used inside for things like leather or fabric dinettes , benchtops and shower doors ; however , the exterior coating is used for some surfaces , like glossy overhead cupboard doors , at the judgement of the professional doing the treatment .
The coffee test was convincing !
THE COFFEE TEST
We were given the opportunity to observe as OptiVAN reps applied the graphene ceramic surface protection to a van at Wonder Roo Caravans . It was interesting to learn that the coating cures in a matter of minutes , rather than hours or days .
An interesting – and rather convincing – demonstration occurred when a piece of card with one section treated with OptiVAN and one section untreated was dunked into a cup of black coffee . Immediately , the untreated section was coffee-stained beyond recovery . The treated section , however , wiped immediately clean with not a drop of that liquid gold to be seen . It was easy to imagine the relief I ’ d feel if , in my caravan , coffee or wine was splashed on the fabric dinette if it was treated with this stuff .
