Opti-coating in Maine!

Hey guys, I see that everyone is looking for people who opti-coat..... I am in Ellsworth, ME and I do detailing on the side and have been for over ten years now, I have used opti coat on 22 diffrent vehicles with great results on all except the first one I always practice a new technique on my own for just this reason! As far as why retailers charge as much as they do for it is because you first have to make the clearcoat perfect before you can apply it! And even new cars need to be compounded straight from the dealer. Although they are easier then a abused car it can still take upwards of 8-16 hours to complete the job I had one bimmer take me over 30 hours.... I had almost 10 hours of compounding and wet sanding before I could even tell it was a black car! So most of the times detainers will quote 500+ for it this is why!
I usually do on site quotes that way I don't screw you or myself! If I ever had another bimmer like the one I did I would quote them over 600!
