Thanks Tuan, I'd be happy to detail your truck! Let's work out mileage, lodging and food expenses for a 4800 mile round trip!

Agreed. Chad has been applying the coating longer than just about anyone!





I didn't take many pics during this detail, but I thought I'd share these before and after shots.

Chris that runs the Optimum Forum is located Cookeville TN. You would be hard pressed to find a better installer of any Optimum product. I will contact him and give him a heads up about this forum and the interest in Opti-Coat.

Thanks Matt. I got your PM, and I'm checking right now. I know a quality guy in your area but it may take me a while to get in touch with him.

Paul's right on the money. Chris@Optimum should be able to help you out or locate someone for you. Eric Witt aka TruShine from TN also does OptiCoat application and he travels all over. He's a highly respected detailer and does amazing work.

Agreed. Chris Thomas did some of the original testing with this product, he knows it better than just about anyone else.

How much does it cost just to have your car opticoated? Everyone seems to be quite and secretive about that kind of stuff... why not give out this info so we can compare cost and not get ripped off by paying too much.
