I stopped off at Airpark Auto Detailing today to speak with the owner.

http://www.idetail.com/

They say they have a similar product but would happy to apply whatever product we had. He was interested in learning more about the opti-coat. He said they charge $175 for their service which includes a 3M 3 step polishing process. He said that process should remove about 80-90% of my scratches.

He said if we get around 8 cars they could take off another 10%. The price still seems pretty damn good considering others on the forum are paying $350. He said they could take of another $25 if I wanted to isntall the coating myself and just have them do the prep.

Anyone else recommend a good body shop that could do the prep?

Here is a good review on the opti-coat. The video of him drying his car with a hose is pretty crazy.

I'm down!

Before I would get a clunk dropping the clutch in between 2 and 3 if shifting hard. Now it kind of bounces and keeps going.

I'm curious to feel kestrels clutch as he has auto crossed for a long time. I also want to look again at some of the other other frs that I have driven. I want to see what the stock adjustment is and if they changed the return spring on the pedal.

I've had to shorten mine in stages. I did it all at once the first time and after three times stalling it trying to leave the garage, I set it back a bit and have been shortening it incrementally. Right now I have about 2-3 inches of travel on the whole clutch pedal. I'm thinking of doing the brake pedal too, but haven't been motivated enough to fight with it.

I'm going to assume you also adjusted the clutch pedal switch so you'll still be able to have cruise control and the gear indicator? Silly question, I'm sure, but it's sort of important.

That was the strange thing . I never lost the gear indicator so the switch never needed adjustment.

Weird. Mine didnt work at all after I adjusted the pedal. I had to move the switch a bit (not much, mind you, but a bit). Glad it all worked out for ya.
