Driven Perfection in Weymouth; I used them to do new car prep, opti-coat, clear bra and tint on my BRZ, and to recondition the WRX STi I just bought. #781-331-0009 you'll have to leave a message. www.drivenperfection.com

Opti-coat a good idea
So what do you think of Opti-Coat?
I'm taking deliver of my 2013 GBS BRZ Limited in a couple of days, and I'm wondering whether to go for it. I'm a little nervous about a "permanent" coating, and I'm not sure how I feel when they say the exterior won't feel smooth to the touch afterwards. My current car has done quite well with waxing two to three times a year (done by the in-garage hand wash place where I park downtown), but it's $90 to $120 every time I get it waxed (depending on one or two coats). |

Unique Car Care in Wakefield is where I go. www.unique-car-care.com
Rick is an awesome guy, also he is one of only a few people who installs XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection film in Massachusetts. He was voted one of the Top 9 Detailers in the USA by Autoweek Magazine. Here is an entire thread on the install he did on my car, with pictures. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17660 Rick's number is #781-389-3913 If you mention my name he will probably give you a small discount.

Just Exterior I believe but I'm not sure. You can always call him up and ask. If he does charge more for the interior too I don't think it's too much more.

My car overall was $1,100. Included new car detail, opti-coat, and road block clear bra installed on full fenders and hood, front bumper, headlights, and mirrors. Window tint was another $200.
Opti-Coat is not permanent, it's just longer lasting than Carnauba wax. I think you can re-apply every 2 years or so.
