Kinda far from fremont but I will recommend Joe from Orinda Auto Detail.This is a good spot to get the opticoat pro done at. Mine was done for $770. Check him out and its worth the money for all the prep work and the outcome.

I think I'll just have to do it myself. I can't afford to spend $700 or $800 to get the car Opti-Coated.

@Cjymiller and @Kace, where is Johnny @ Distinctiv located at? Fremont?

Johnny is about to graduate soon, so he's focusing on schooling for the next few months. He recommended a few people, with Drew @ Auto Salon Works being one of them. I'd prefer Opticoat Pro though if I'm gonna have someone else do it for me. Still, seems like Drew does amazing work.

I think I'd rather just wait a few months if Johnny is closer. The other guys are at least 35+ mins away from me, which makes it a hassle. Sounds more expensive too.

If you are planning to have someone coat your car, you are probably going to have to leave your car with the detailer for the better part of the day. You factor in a bunch of hours for the prep and application of the coating plus the time for the Opticoat or OptiPro to cure (which is probably overnight). To drive from one side of Fremont to the other is like 10-15 minutes. What's another 20 minutes?

+1 for johnny at distinctiv. for me, he's done three cars - most recently the full opti for my brz. goooood dood.

but so do other people as well:

in the past johnny has fundraised for the American Cancer Society, and even contributed portions of his earnings to the cause. Class act.

You can try calling Dave @ http://www.thorpeautodetail.com/, located in Campbell. He does Opti-coat 2.0 and his techs really know car-care definitively. I only had my front hood and bumpers Opti-coated so came out to ~$400 but you can ask for a quote for the whole car.

I am good. I'll just do it myself. I wonder if I can get my hands on Opti-Pro.
