Speedfreak Detailing (Opti-Coat, windows, SHINEY!)
just wanted to put this out there for those of you in the DMV area. i just had my brz Opti-Coated (it's now a verb, deal with it) by Brian over at Speedfreak, and i'm super impressed with pretty much everything. quality, service, transparency, schedules, flexibility, pricing... everything. also, he didn't try to push a bunch of extra stuff at me, and he's given me a lot of really good wash and care info.
he fit me in on a compressed schedule, and let me work on my car in his space between the opti-coat and gtechniq applications (the had to order the window stuff, which is why there was a gap). also, i no longer have to use my wipers, this window stuff is great ^_^ anyways, if you're looking for detailing, opti-coat, window things, i'd highly recommend him. (no, he didn't give me a discount to post this :P) here's some pictures of the work he did. |

Looks good. How much did you pay for the prep work and Opti-coat and where is the shop located? I couldn't find it on their website.

Again congrats on the opti-coat! I have to ask, did you get your clear bra installed here as well?

I had David at Prosheildinc do my clear bra. he did a great job, i was really pleased with the work.
the prep work and application on Opti-Coat came out to around $700. i had swirls and things from the dealership washing my car >.< their shop is in chantilly, i'm not sure why it isn't listed on their site, but he'll send you the address when you set up an appointment. |

I have two questions about this since I'm considering having this done?
How much was the clear bra and which parts of the car were done? |

Hi guys,
Brian @ SpeedFreak Detailing here. Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to Nicole for the shout out. Was a pleasure meeting and working on her car! If we can help out with anything else, drop us a line through our website or PM here on the forums. Unfortunately, as of yesterday Optimum (the maker of Opti Coat) just dropped a 300% price increase on ALL authorized installers. Obviously because of this significant price hike, all future installs will be more costly to perform. We can quote on an individual basis, but I wanted to put this out there to avoid any confusion regarding future pricing. Look forward to serving your detailing needs in the DC/Northern VA area. Regards, Brian Lewis SpeedFreakDetailing.com |

I think there's probably a minimum labor cost that they have to abide by to be qualified as an authorized installer. Legal price fixing, yay...
