I haven't been very happy with the performance of Opti-Coat. I have the consumer grade version (Opti-Coat 2.0) on my car and though it works... I was really expecting more.
If you want to stick with Opti-Coat, make sure to ask the installer which version of Opti-Coat they are using. They should be using Opti-Coat Pro (or just Opti-Coat now). OPT discontinued the consumer line Opti-Coat products and renamed it to Gloss-Coat. Opti-Coat is now only available through installers only.
I would also look into the CQuartz coating line. That is a very popular coating also.
In regards to who can install a coating, a few options:

http://www.yelp.com/biz/orinda-auto-detail-orinda
http://www.yelp.com/biz/auto-concier...te+reflections
The last one I listed, Bob/Auto Concierge is as high level as you can get. And charges accordingly.
Last thing: If I were you, I would only go to someone who is well established. For whatever reason, I feel like everyone and their mom is a "detailer." Just be careful. It is cheaper to do it right the first time than having someone hack up your car and then have it fixed.
