Opti-Coat meet?

Hey guys, I'm looking to do opti-coat and I will have all the supplies soon. Was wondering if some of you guys want to meet up and do opti-coat ourselves. I already opti-coated my other car, and it's actually pretty easy, but just time consuming.

Also, I don't have a garage. So, if anyone has a garage we can use or something I will definitely share my cleaning/prep stuff:

Gilmour Foamaster II Cleaning Sprayer
Carpro Iron X Iron Remover (running low, so not enough to go around)
Nanoskin auto scrub (mechanical claying)
Porter cable orbital sander
Meguiars #205 Ultra Finishing Polisher
Nanoskin auto scrub Glide (lubricant)
15% isopropyl alcohol mixture to remove any residue before applying the opti-coat.
Meguiars nxt car wash.

So, anyone who wants to do this hit me up. The only thing is we need like a garage or some sort of enclosure where debris wont be able to stick to the opti-coat.

If you guys have better cleaning supplies or whatever bring it, share it. Also, you guys will need to bring your own opti-coat, drying towel (whatever you may use), microfiber towels, and would be nice if someone else also had extra microfiber bonnets for the porter cable.

Wow, that is perfect; Koolkiid, you, and I would make three so the three car garage is perfect. However, I only have 1 porter cable and such, so we're going to have to be a bit patient.

I'm in LA county, but really close to OC county as well. So, even if you're in Irvine, Torrance, or Pico Rivera I can make it.

Where you located at?

If the traffic isn't too bad I can get there in about an 1 hr 20 mins. I don't mind the drive, but after we opti-coat I'm gonna have to wait for it to flash/cure. The full curing takes about 24 hrs, but I can blow dry to speed up the process and maybe within an hour or so would be fine.

Do you mind if we chill at your place or nearby while we wait for the opti-coat to cure?

Alright, I'll let you know. As of right now I'm just waiting for my opti-coat to come in. Lemme know when you got all your stuff as well.

Minimum you will need your own:
Opti-coat
IronX (or other iron removing product)
Microfiber Bonnets (6 inches preferably for the porter cable)
Microfiber towels

The rest I got covered, but would like it if you and koolkid brought some washing/prepping stuff as well.
