Getting frustrated opti-guard
Im starting to believe my search has come to an end. Basicly, NOBODY in chicagoland area opti-guards (atleast in my local area.) Im about to contact someone far away and have my car shipped down, or my cousin drive it, south where people know what this stuff is. I would of thought SOMEBODY would have atleast knew what it was. NOPE.... If anyone knows someone who isnt charging a 600+ dollars to apply it, after they read the directions first, please pm me

http://www.lustrdetail.com/ OPT Also lists a distributor in Chicago on their website, and the guy offers detailing as well... http://www.obsessivedetail.com/Services.html Again, I can't speak to their prices or quality of work, but there are surely some options out there. Quote:

I recommended Ivan a while back but apparently he wasn't doing OptiGuard at the time. Maybe things have changed?

I think if you can properly clay bar and polish then this will be easy for you.

My understanding is the paint needs to be corrected before application of opti coat. Sure opticoat may take 30 minutes to apply but for most people, including me, learning to correct paint and having the right tools to do so and doing it on your brand new car...
