This is amazing. Great job.
I was thinking about getting this done on my BRZ. How much does stuff like this usually run? |

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. |

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. |
