Glad to see business is still picking up for you Bryan! You should find a tint guy and do a Long Island Opticoat/Tint/Meet and Greet at this potential shop of yours!

Full disclosure: Bryan did my car early on and his service is definitely worth the wait.

OPTI-coat it yourself. I followed the directions in AUTOGEEK and it came out beautiful. It took me two days,but I did it by hand and didn't,use a buffer on any of the steps.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't see you the day I worked on your neighbors cars back in sept. You may be hearing from me through email any day now as I just launched gift certificates on the website.

Also, I haven't really made much noise about it just yet. But I'm an official sponsor here on ft86 as well. Kinda waiting to get the shop going

Regarding the question concerning applying it yourself - anyone can buy opti coat (2.0) and the application of the product is not that difficult in the proper lighting (that is key). However, the surface decon and paint correction process requires a lot of know how, time, tools, and product.

In addition guys like myself and Phil (detailer's domain) are authorized installers of Optimum coatings and therefore able to obtain "Opti-Guard" which is the original / professional version of the product.

Once the shop is going I'll let you know. After that whenever is best for you I'll make it a priority since you've been waiting so long.

how long does opti-coat last?

whitefrs 11-25-2012 08:41 PM

Its supposed to be permanent...
But who knows

Hamza7 11-25-2012 08:46 PM

It lasts as long as your paint does, the only thing that can remove it is abrasion. ie. sanding, harsh contact, repaints etc...
