Looking to do clearbra or opti-coat
 
I'm looking for a professional to install a clearbra in the New England area, southern New Hampshire. Does anyone have any recommendations?

They have a nice looking but hard to use website, so I didn't find much specific info on what they do and how. Looks like 1 hour from me. Would I have to leave my car for clearbra, or come on a weekend and wait? I wonder how long does it take. I guess I can call and ask :)

I don't have a clearbra so I don't know how long it will take. However, you can send a message through the site and they're quick to respond...but the best answer is to call them!

It looks like he does really high-end stuff, is it pretty expensive?
update: looks like $1500, hmmm

$1500 is for Xpel Ultimate...thats the top of the line clear bra. It's self healing so any small scratches and marks just disappear in about 30 seconds.

If that's too pricey for you he does 3M VentureShield installs as well which are about a quarter of the cost of the Xpel. His stuff is high end but his prices aren't, a full detail with cleaning, polish, claybar and opticoating will run you around $350.

How do you like the Xpel Ultimate so far, do you think its worth it? Is it just for aesthetics, because you want a perfect clean look and have a saturated color? I have an Asphalt myself, but I am probably more concerned about preventing damage rather than looking as clean as possible.

It does both, it prevents damage and self-heals itself. Plus it wont yellow over time like the VentureShield tends to do. I think it was worth it...but that's my opinion. If you don't mind replacing your bra every 3 to 5 years or whenever it gets a rock scratch then by all means go with the VentureSheild...honestly Rick would be able to give you more information than I would, I've only ever used the Xpel.
