You don't have to be certified for opti coat. For opti guard you do have to be certified.

I took my asphalt FR-S to Drew for detailing, paint correction, and opticoat application. He is located in the Belmont/San Carlos area and has my recommendation.

I'm taking my car to California Detailing in San Francisco for the Opti Coat. I checked them on yelp and they got 5stars out of 150plus reviews. Has anyone here tried them ?

Be careful at California Detailing. I called and talked with the owner in late July and asked about their service and opti-coat. He told me a story about how pounds of clearcoat are applied to a vehicle. How can I expect opti-coat, using less than an ounce, to be better and last for the lifetime of the car? :search: He said that his service uses a coating that is used on jets.:bow: After the initial new-car service, all that is necessary is owner maintenance with the product that he sells for $20 a bottle.:thumbdown: Is he honest?:iono: Mmmmm, but I'm staying away from him.:burnrubber: Is he biased?:laughabove: Yep! Is he a good salesman?:bs: Yes, a silver-tongue salesman he is.

I went to Drew who is a member of this forum.:thumbup: He detailed my new FR-S with paint correction and applied the opti-coat. Drew is not a silver-tongue salesman, but his work is GOLD!:happyanim: He is located on the San Francisco peninsula in the Belmont/San Carlos area. I live in San Francisco and it is an easy drive to Drew's Auto Salon Works.

I am dropping my brz off with Drew this weekend, and ill see if he can do a before/after shot. Either way, ill report back Sunday with the results, but I am looking forward to seeing my car at its best.

Thanks for the vouch guys :)

@Drew I've referred a few guys to you before, though I don't think we've ever met. I've seen your work and I lurk around DB/AG often haha

For those on the peninsula, I don't think you can go wrong with bringing it to Drew. I'm on the other side of the bay (Fremont) for those who needs help.
