  1. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    $1,300 included paint correction, could I have done it my self for less than half the price? Sure, but probably wouldn't have been as perfect. My main issue is time, I work way to much and at this time of the year and I'm lucky if I get 1 entire day off a week. In the end I feel like the...
  2. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    The clear bra adhered to the coating no problem, I also know a handful of people who did the same thing to their cars years ago and its still fine. I ended up installing a higher quality film that has a "self healing" property, and applying the coating to the bra would negate that ability...

    It can be, in fact I plan to apply Opti-Coat over a clear bra and vinyl.
  4. Amazing Detailer in Belmont (SF Bay Area)

    Basically its making the paint perfect. Here's an image from Andrew's Yelp page of the before and after paint correction. It's of course more noticeable on older cars, but newer cars can benefit from it as well. I had several scratches and swirls put in the clear coat from the dealership...
  5. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    I will Opti-Coat the stripes and clear bra after both have been installed. The paint was corrected and Opti-Coat applied so the paint looks uniform before installing the clear bra. The stripes will go on top of the bra because they are cheap, and I don't want to replace the entire bra just for...
  6. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    I didn't coat the wheels, I was really debating about it though. I chose not to because eventually I may get wider wheels/rims. I figure if I change my mind I can always bring it back to him. Damn that's rough about the paint. I lucked out I guess, I picked up my car before the dealer had a...
  7. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    Thanks, it ran $1,300. I did some shopping around and other places were in the $500-$800 range, but their definition of "perfect" was a joke. This was defiantly one of those times where "you get what you pay for."
  8. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    Professionally applied. The guy who did it is one of the few car detailers I've met who treat their work like an art form. Before applying the sealer he made the paint perfect. He had the car for 3 days, does all the work by himself, and does 1 car at a time. From this point on he's the...
  9. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    Exactly just like a normal clear coat. When I say it can take scratches, I mean buffing/removing the Opti-Coat and re-aplying it is way easier and cheaper than fixing the real clear coat. It's cured and bonded to the surface within 24 hours. Initially it's hardness is on par with the OEM...
  10. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    Thanks all, and I'll be sure to let you all know in a few weeks. I had the paint correction and Opti-Coat done first to be sure the paint looked uniform across the car before putting the bra on it. I'll have the bra installed this Tuesday, you need to give Opti-Coat 3 days or so to fully...
  11. Had Opti-Coat Applied.

    Just had my car's paint corrected and Opti-Coat applied. This stuff is pretty amazing, along with a clear bra I don't think I'll be seeing any scratches from normal wear and tear. Opti-Coat is a paint sealer that acts like a second harder clear coat, and also adds more gloss to the paint. It...
  12. Amazing Detailer in Belmont (SF Bay Area)

    I just got my car back from having the paint corrected, polished, and Opti-Coat (sealer) applied by Andrew at Auto Salon Works (http://www.yelp.com/biz/auto-salon-works-belmont-2). Defiantly worth it. Opti-Coat is a paint sealer that acts like a second harder clear coat, and also adds more...

    It was sent to us in a private message, I think to everyone who requested to be on the update list for the CAI.

    Thank you for the promo code/discount! How long will our forum promo code be valid? I ask because I'd like to see some numbers before I pull the trigger and buy the CAI+tuner.
  15. Squeek from front left corner?

    My car goes in this Friday, I'll let you know what they tell me.
  16. Should I let Ford paint my car?

    How bad is it on yours? Mines goes from the edge of the lip to the window, about 1/8" wide and tall. Kinda looks like a thumb smudge. I probably would have never noticed it if I didn't tint the windows.
  17. How is the paint on the car?

    I'll be installing the opti coat sealer on my paint when I get the car back from the body shop. It'll give the paint a second clear coat thats harder and more durable. After the opti coat has cured I'm having a clear bra installed on the entire front clip for about $1500. It may be pricey but...
  18. Should I let Ford paint my car?

    My car is right now at the local Ford body shop having a few scratches taken care of and some panels aligned. I took my previous car to this shop and their work was top notch. The paint was blended perfectly, it was impossible to tell any work was done. BUT my car does have a small paint issue...
  19. Buffalo Wild Wings Mustang6G Hangs (Fremont)

    I'll try to make it out there in the future, but can't make it this time. My car will be in the shop.
  20. A Man Has To Know His Limitations (Striping Failure)

    Ya red looks great on silver, and it makes the car unique since most do black on silver. Whats the width for each stripe and the gap width? They're the perfect width for that hood.
