Reputable Opti-coat/Clear bra/Tint detailers in Central NJ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Reflex · 06-18-2012, 01:15 AM

I'm looking to get either Opti-coat or Clear bra applied to my car since I don't have a garage and would like some sort of protection, but I don't know where to start looking for a reputable car detailer around the central NJ area! Anyone know any good places or have any recommendations??

Also, I want to get my back windows and rear window tinted. Anyone have recommendations as to where I should go?

I did mine with Dent Man. He is true pro and does all custom work - no pre-cut kit was available 3 weeks ago probably not even now) He basically does all Porsches for Princeton dealership which most buyers don't even know and think that dealer does it themselves

For standard - full bumper, part fenders, part hood, headlights, mirrors he quoted $650 (the same as 2 years ago for pre-cut kit for STi). If you want full hood so you don't see the "line" once you look closely it is $200 extra.
He does AMAZING job - he spent basically all day to get it done right. If you look at the bumper - it is very tricky to get done! Let me know if you want his contact info!

Google Oakes Detail.
Offers every service, and both Opti-coat and Cquartz
Outside Philly, so you have a hour and half drive- but can take care of everything your looking for.
Super high quality. Does everything from Subaru to Spyker (started in the Subbie world actualy), price is reasonable and service is fantastic.

I just Opti-coated a BRZ last week, and I'm located in Central NJ. This time I tried something new and took videos instead of photos.
