Prep -

Wheels were cleaned with Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner, once the wheel cleaner indicated red we were ready to brush them down with the Auto Finesse Hog Hair Brushes as well as the Wheel Woolies.

WOW, that was awesome.

:thumbsup:

i love watching your videos!
you guys also do amazing work!!

This is amazing. Great job.

I was thinking about getting this done on my BRZ. How much does stuff like this usually run?

it would depend on what package you would like and how much coverage you would like.

Prep and Opti Gloss would be around $850
Prep and Opti Pro would be around $1250

Xpel Ultimate partial kit - $1200
Xpel Ultimate basic front kit - $1850-2000

What are the differences? I would like to know everything, please!

Since you're in the east coast, I'll definitely come to you.

we are at 70 Oak St, Norwood, NJ 07648

sorry differences? in xpel?

Why is one more than the other? Stronger material? Anti UV? Etc.

Sorry, I'm just not familiar with this stuff haha. Had a friend tell me there was this kind of thing, never saw it until I saw your video.

my god that car makes me moist.

Sure

Xpel Ultimate is a seal healing protective film that will protect the car from road rash and rock chips.

As for Opti Coat it is a coating which will be in a sense a super sealant, coatings will protect the paint from the elements - just like waxes and sealants but they should last from 1 yr up to 5 years with proper maintenance.

That sounds great. I'll keep your address saved and show up whenever I have the funds for this. I really appreciate it.

that would be great. :w00t:
