That's my opinion anyways.

Opti-coat is almost a double-ended sword to me. There are small scratches on my car (since the dealer washed it.... assholes). Since my paint is "perfect", my imperfections are much more obvious.
Nobody here would ever see them looking at the car, but I know where they are and what kind of light to catch them in so I see 'em.

ANYWAYS, if you're looking into having your car detailed do some research. It's worth it. A good job can get up to and over $1k depending on the condition of your vehicle. I could talk about this forever.
I agree with most of this. But if you're paying 1000$ for a paint restoration, you're getting scammed!

Totally worth the drive.
