Yes, I understand that. I am just trying to win possible benefit for all you guys here.

Anyway, if I am the provider, I’d like to offer some discount for group buy, even $20 off, which could be more attractive, and it will be good free advertisement. How do you think?

I'm interested in this too - but will probably only get an opportunity to do it in September.

BTW can we keep this a Sydney thread. OP can you change title of your thread to Sydney, it that's ok?

he has worked on one of my cars before, and did a very good job.

I trust him, and i know he will do the right thing if anything goes wrong.

so he will always be my choice for detailing in sydney.

Hi Guys,

I'm watching this thread - I'll reply in detail tonight once I return home. Detailing a show car for a magazine shoot at the moment so just dont have enough time right now.

Hang tight.

For opticoat in Adelaide I spoke to DandS tint and they seemed like they knew their shit, but they're in between moving premesis for the next few weeks. Was approx $800 for full prep/claybar, opticoat and premium tinting.

OK guys.

As some people have mentioned before it is extremely difficult to offer a group buy at a substantial discount due to the nature of my operation and the ability to only do 2 cars a day MAX. This ensures that I have sufficient time to perfect my work and leave happy with the job I have performed.

I am also substantially cheaper than 90% of the Opti Coat dealers Australia wide. The way my business is set up is to make money off volume rather than a single customer - and the profit margins for applying Opti Coat arent as large as you would think.

Another problem is 90% haven't received their vehicles yet - and deliveries are scattered throughout the year.

So I'm going to offer two options and hopefully keep it simple.

1. Mention you found me through this forum, quote your username and I will Opti Coat your 86 for $390.

2. Or I will add value to your deal and Opti Coat your wheels, plastics and rubbers, side/rear glass and headlights/tail lights at no extra cost (coating the windscreen is illegal therefore I will not endorse it)

For anyone that has already booked their vehicles in with me, I will apply the discount automatically or add value as you wish.

How does that sound?

Frank
