Back from Opti-Coat!

Picked up my car today from Greg at Signature Detailing...looking absolutely beautiful in her new Opti-Coat. Amazing work Greg thanks!











My only complaint is that he wouldn't let me drive the Lambo or the 911...I mean come on, at least one or the other. I did get to drive the BRZ home with a big smile on my face, so that's something.

Welcome to the world of Opti-Coat. Did the detailer use Opti-Seal after the Opti-coat application? I use Optimum Instant Detailer every other wash. It gives it the slick n glossy shine!

I think so...I'm bad at remembering all the product names. He definitely used an Optimum product on top of the Opti-Coat to protect it and to increase the glossiness.

Yup, he must have used Optimum Opti-seal on top of the Opti-coat! You'll get complimented by peeps on the shine! I had a guy on a moped ask me if that was the stock paint and then he said, "wow I can really see those metallic flakes"!

Greg confirmed for me that he topped the Opti-Coat with Opti-Coat Pro Plus.

Such a nice color when corrected and well maintained. How much did you pay?

PM me for my pricing info. Whatever it is, it's worth it.

I noticed my sideview mirrors were looking super crisp today...coated too!

Looking damn good! I just ordered my 2015 in Asphalt and I cannot WAIT to pick her up! What suspension are you running? I'm ordering springs on Thursday and this looks like the perfect rde height. Debating between a few spring options, as I am not ready for coil overs yet.

Thanks. The drop is from RCE Yellow springs...very happy with them. Suspensionwise, I'm also running HVT camber plates and the Whiteline rear camber bushings.

Your tires look really glossy. What tire dressing did he use? Opti-coat looks really nice though.

Greg used two thin coats of Optimums Opti-Bond Tire Gel.
