With proper maintenance, Opti-Coat lasts indefinitely. It is a semi-permanent paint coating that can only be removed via abrasion.

This was my car that was done. I can say with confidence that I received professional service and my car was handled with the utmost care with high quality equipment. I don't know very much in terms of detailing and Gary explained to me each step of what he was doing. I definitely recommend.

The car hasn't been washed yet since I had it opticoated about 2 weeks ago. It gets real dusty and dirty where I live, but I noticed that most of the crap just rinses right off. I will do a full wash next weekend to see exactly how well it holds up.

Epileptic... music caused epileptic seizure.

Good video and the car looks good... from what I can tell staring up at my monitor from the ground twitching.

DubStep is a must when detailing a car. ;)

Opti-Coat is semi permanent protection. They say it should last for about 3+ years, it's all about prepping the car.

Thanks Franki! Hope all is well in Cali. I wished I had the privilege to be working for someone as knowledgeable as Richard. You get to play with those expensive PTG.
