Detailer's Domain: New Car Prep - Opti Coat - Clear Film Installation - 13 Subaru BRZ
 

Subject: Subaru BRZ - WRB
Requirements - New Car Prep - Opticoat - Clear Film Installation (Full Hood, Full Fenders, Bumper, Mirrors, Lights, Door Cups)

Another customer going to the extreme of bringing us a perfect car for a new car prep, Opti Coat - Clear Film Installation.

I have to say these guys (FRS/BRZ owners) get it. They are all doing what's right for their new cars at an early stage in its life. New Car Prep the "RIGHT" way/Opti Coat/ and many now are opting for clear film. This is a great way to protect your investment.

Take a look at how I was given the this new one, wrapped from the factory plus 3m masking tape on areas not covered. Customer drove up from PA.

My car! :D

Nice to see every step of this in photos.

How much for this type of package cost?

My detail and opti-coat was $600

And I thought my trip there from VA was extreme, you taped the entire car:eyebulge:

How much total did that car care cost? from detailing to opticoat to wrapping?

Kinda wish I had opti-coat done before I wrapped a good part of the car in clear bra. Oh well. :rolleyes:

you can still opti coat the car:thumbup:
