At this point I am expecting to be able to pick up the car on 1st of September, could you do the opti-coating at the dealers or some other location?

Thank you
Hi Loki,

The process generally takes about 4 hours, but this can take longer depending on how much prep the car needs before Opti Coat. Ive had instances where it has taken 8 hours, but that was pretty extreme.

Im happy to get the job done at the dealership if they let me...they dont really like letting outsiders into their workshop. Probably because all their "detailers" would stop work and watch me instead

If not im happy to either get it done somewhere else of your choice. Last choice would be to bring it to my place (Parramatta).

The official statement from Optimum states that it takes Opti Coat 12 hours to fully cure and shouldn't get wet during this time. I would check the weather on the day and make sure there is going to be no possibility of rain when your driving back.

PM me when your ready with your phone number mate and we can have a more detailed chat.

Frank
