Sonic blue opti coat Melbourne

Just got the car opti coated by Justin at platinum protection. He comes to you so super easy. Spent about 4 hours just getting the paint right. Great job. Nice guy. Totally recommend him. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1346495349.335935.jpg

$490. Just washed it today for first time after opticoat. Looks just as good. Much easier to get clean now. Looks so shiny in car parks compared toother cars.

Mine was done about 5 or 6 weeks ago. The opti coat is good but it won't give the shiny depth and wet look of a really good detail. It just looks clean.

Overall I'm happy I did it but for some people it may not be worth it

Opti Coat is basically permanent paint protection.

Its a ceramic coating guaranteed to last the lifetime of your vehicle when professionally applied.

If you want to know more, Google has heaps of info and reviews. If you want to get more technical information, give me a call on 0477 977 004. We also have a group buy going in the classifieds section with some examples. Just register your interest and I'll be in contact with you when the time comes.
