Got my Red GTS Opti-Coated

Hey guys!

Just got my red GTS Opti-coated this morning by Frank from Bright Shine Mobile Detailing (************************************) and I must say, it's an amazing difference from the dodgy detailing job on delivery!

When I just picked it up, I was extremely disappointed to see how shocking the delivery detail was. They pretty much just buffed the crap out of it and left swirls and leftover polish all over the places with white build up in the gaps. Regardless, I was going to get the car Opti-coated when I got it so I called around and Frank offered the best deal.

Frank gave the car a proper once over, fixing up all of the crap the dealer detailer did. What people don't know about the Opti-coat is that it's 90% preparation as the Opti-coat only takes around 30 minutes to apply but the prep is a good 2 hours or so. Even after the prep, the car looked 100x better than out of the dealer. After the opti-coat it just blew my mind at how nice and full the paint looked, even though the car is new. It really does make a big difference.

Anyways, I can't recommend the Opti-coat and Frank from Bright Shine enough. If you're planning on getting your car Opti-coated and you're in the Sydney area, definitely give Frank a call and tell them Stanley referred you. He'll sort you out.

And of course, the part you've all been waiting for, the photos!

Enjoy!

Wow! That looks absolutely beautiful!! I am going to look into this opti-coat stuff here in SoCal. I want my new Red FR-S to look like this. Btw.... I wish the U.S. was getting this fully loaded version Toyota GTS. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very grateful for the FR-S! Awesome pics of your awesome car; thanks for sharing.

Just had my Argento done by auto obsessed in Edmonton.. Highly highly recommended. What a product and what a job they did with the application. Details and photos in the next few days along with links to a summary they're putting on their web page..

I've gotten a few quote from places, and Platinum paint protection seems to be the best value for money. Paint correction and opti-coating for $495.

there are some things I have learned the hard way , at times the cheapest price is not the best option, i am just talking in general terms.

Thanks for the heads up mate, unfortunately won't get an 86 until earliest November or latest January (from what I've been told by a different dealer)...

Hopefully there are more special deals to come.

I remember he said $450 or so in another thread - it was cheaper than Reflect Effect and unlike them these guys come to your place.
