My baby is opti-guarded

Just want to give a big shout out to James from sunset detailing OC. He opti-coated (not guarded) my baby yesterday. Did an outstanding job. If y'all need it done here in SoCal he is the man to call. Drove all the way down here to Chula Vista from OC!

I originally had mine coated in Wolfs Hard Body, and it pretty much all but wore off within 2 months. Got it recoated in OptiCoat and it still looks perfect a month later! Enjoy it!

Looks nice. Isn't it a good feeling when your car's finish is well protected?

Oh yeah. Although, I almost had a female college student run into my car at the local shopping mall. I nearly p***ed myself.

PM me.....

All I did today was take a drying towel and she looks brand new. I had a guy at Costco tell me today "Good thing you have a garage". I told him I park it in the driveway. He was dumb founded. He said "It looks like you just pulled out of the garage". I told him about opti-coat (I never heard of what you used). He was impressed. But, hey whatever works right?

Looks good man. I like this mod but I'm afraid to dish out hundreds for it. How long are you expecting this coating to last? :happy0180:
