got my WRB BRZ opticoated today
 

After picking up my BRZ on Tuesday and researching this Opticoat trend for a few weeks, I decide it was better to have this protection on my brand new car than not. I went on a search for someone in the Bay Area that was able to do this and more important have experience in applying it. That is when I found Andrew Mijares of Auto Salon Works. Shot him a short email on Monday night before picking up the car. He replied early morning Tuesday.

After few days of being overwhelmed by the new car sensation, I figured it was time to protect my investment. I called Andrew Thursday evening and was able to drop off my car that very evening to be worked on next day. I was shocked that he was willing to take me in such a short notice. I was also weary about giving up my brand new to a stranger. But after meeting him in person, I was relieved. Immediately I could tell that Andrew was a stand up guy. In his own words, "I will treat your car better than mines." He even offered to pick me up from work if I wasn't able to find a ride.

I honestly am a complete n00b to the detailing aspect. From my research and what I have seen from his work, Andrew did a great job. He definitely put in extra effort and care. But enough talking, everyone wants pictures, so here they are.
