Can anyone recommend a good Opti-coat and clear bra installer in my area?
 
I've looked up on installers for opti-coat and clear bra but all the goods ones are in west of toronto or missisauga. I live in Markham so i'd prefer installers that are closer.
For opti-coat i heard Hamza is good but he's not available until July and Bryan from ConcursTouch doesn't have many available dates (looking from the calender on his site).
I also don't know who to go for clear bra installation in the east end. Maybe Auto-links?

Kevin from GTA In Detail is AMAZING! He's in Mississauga but definitely worth the drive.

His name on here is picus

Kevin is super easy going and super cool...I'm sure he totally understands. It's not a huge deal if you have to wait a few weekends. He'll be doing paint correction (which would be needed anyway). He will still treat your car as a "new car prep" job.

Completely worth the time and drive to use him.

The shop next to him (or shares the place I should say) does unbelievable clear bra work. His name is Marco and he and Kevin can work together to get everything done in one trip.

I've spoken with Marco but he's unable to schedule me for the next couple of weeks.

Personally I would just book it and wait the few weeks. Nothing is going to happen to your car in that short of time.

Does Opticoat dull the natural sheen of a very clean clearcoat? And is the pro version better in some way?

Does he do vinyl wrapping? Do you know how much it is to wrap gloss black on my roof?

I've rescheduled with Kevin this tuesday. Forecast doesn't say snow so i'm gonna drop it off there early in the morning before work. I'm glad Kevin will be opti-coating my car. I've decided to get my clear bra done at Auto-Links along with Tint.

Pro version is thicker, and cure faster.

Not at all. It almost keeps a perminant waxed look, since paint correction and clean is done prior to its application.

Wes Robles or Wes_R.

He is from Scarborough.

I believe both Hamza and Alex work from unheated garages so they don't work over the winter.
