Be careful at California Detailing. I called and talked with the owner in late July and asked about their service and opti-coat. He told me a story about how pounds of clearcoat are applied to a vehicle. How can I expect opti-coat, using less than an ounce, to be better and last for the lifetime of the car? He said that his service uses a coating that is used on jets. After the initial new-car service, all that is necessary is owner maintenance with the product that he sells for $20 a bottle. Is he honest? Mmmmm, but I'm staying away from him. Is he biased? Yep! Is he a good salesman? Yes, a silver-tongue salesman he is.

I went to Drew who is a member of this forum. He detailed my new FR-S with paint correction and applied the opti-coat. Drew is not a silver-tongue salesman, but his work is GOLD! He is located on the San Francisco peninsula in the Belmont/San Carlos area. I live in San Francisco and it is an easy drive to Drew's Auto Salon Works.
