Good detailer/opticoat in Atlanta

I am really lazy when it comes to car detailing so I'm looking for a good shop in Atlanta that can do a detail and possibly an opticoat application to my BRZ.

I have not used him but Bryan at www.peachstatedetail.com comes highly recommended and his price was more than fair. He was also very responsive with emails and tolerated my n00b questions.

I plan on eventually having him do both Olivia (my FR-S) and Reba (the wife's Mustang) once I get through recovering from the initial purchase.

Speaking from first-hand experience, Bryan is a consummate professional with a magic touch for making cars sparkle. With him, you can't go wrong!

We don't hand out such endorsements lightly. He's really that good.

If it's rude asking here I won't mind sending him a message, but what quote was given for the FR-S?

Having a tough layer of protection from bugs, etc is getting very appealing.

Normally, I would post it, but the quote I got had a lot of variables in it, since I got a quote for two cars, one of which is 7 years old, and it included traveling time, etc (I'm NW of Atlanta, he's based South of town) so I'm not sure it would be applicable. He does have some pricing listed on his website, so that should give you a guide, but he responded to me almost immediately when I sent him an email.

Emailed Bryan yesterday and ended up going out to let him check out the car and talked for a while.

Great guy and definitely some great work. Cars with coating definitely still have that gloss and shine.

I have an appointment with Bryan to get this done. Having owned several subarus, I definitely had to do something to protect the paint.

Just thought to read your description of what you drive

Sometimes I miss the most obvious things. That's awesome though, I guess he's doing that right before he heads off for the rest of the month as he won't be able to get to mine til August.

Awesomely enough he provided me with some washing solution to cover me til then.

What kind of washing solution did he give you? I may have to try and get some to keep from getting the swirls.

Seemed to be a no rinse solution, I'll get the name as soon as I remember it. I've got a small bottle he poured some in.
