Befores









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.






APC was sprayed on the tires and then brushed. Tires were cleaned for dressing in the final stage of the detail






The car was then foamed with Adam's Car Wash and washed down.

Various detail brushes were used to clean grills and various tight areas.

Final rinse.


Nanoskin Wash Mitt wash used in conjunction with the clay bar.



Metro Vac Sidekick used to dry off the crevices and blow out the wheels.



Uber Super Drying Towel used to dry out the bigger body panels.


Paint Correction

Rupes LHR21 with the 5 inch bp used to polish out the paint prior to Opti Coat.











Xpel Ultimate installation - full hood, full bumper, full fenders, mirrors, door cups, side skirts




Afters - unfortunately when we took the afters it was dark and wet outside.

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

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.

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.
