Hi, new here and don't really want to start the whole opti vs ceramic debate, but..
What did you choose and why?
Looking to get either applied north Brisbane.

So far I've seen in this forum - Express Tint virigina - Website says Nanotek
- Prefered car care - Ceramic pro
- Solar Style -Opti

Solar style Management is bad. After sale service is really bad.
Even without looking at the issue they refuse to fix it. They say rain water causes mineral deposit on Opticoat and this is not covered under warranty.

No such thing as paint correction either. 3 cars and all have marks on RH door on them at the same location.
How can they miss on all three cars, if they do paint correction, it could have been picked up easily.

The only time you will get quick response is when you are inquiring about new business, once you have paid don't expect any fixes after that.

Have to involve OptiCoat Head office and 3 Visits to fix the issue, which they refused to fix without even looking at it, no matter how small the issue is or was.

Also i don't think they do wheels properly even though they charge for it. They keep the car overnight not to cure it, but just so that they can work on multiple cars. Only time they use infrared, if you want your car back same day.

Best option, if you chose Opticoat, get someone (mobile) to come to your place, at least you know what they are doing or pick another vendor.

Hi whitegt,

Express Tint in Virginia applied Opti-Coat exterior paint protection and interior protection for me. They also did the wheel faces, and window tint at the same time.

Pricing was similar for the companies you have listed, However the others were after a considerable fee for the annual inspection which is required for the warranty to continue! Express Tint offered to do this at no cost.

An added benefit was that they were closer to home!

Cheers,

Rob.

I'll throw in another one, after doing research on lots of different brands and cars I'm getting Body Armour 9H done on Friday. Will post back what I think of the results.

Also for tints another recommendation from me for Byron at Tint-a-Car Milton, he is doing a decent discount for all forum members.

Hey there - I had Opti-Coat Pro+ done by Tristan from iValet, he is mobile and also has a new shop on the Northside - he maintains all 4 cars in our household and does an absolutely excellent job everytime. Could not recommend him enough, he is the only person to even wash my stang (apart from the very rare occasion I have to do it myself lol)

Ceramic Pro 9H and tint through Preferred Car Care. Very happy with the finish, service and price. Give Justin a call, great guy who is a proper car nut and won't settle for anything less than perfect.

I used The Detailing Centre Arthur Street Caloundra for paint protection and tint. Caloundra Exhausts Daniel Street Caloundra for the exhaust. Both fine.

We had our paint protection done by Clean Getaway at Currumundi. Got the Opti-coat Pro.

Recently had full turbo back exhaust fitted by Kuluin Mufflers (on Fishermans Road). they were awesome to deal with.

Tint was done at a place at NorthLakes, however he is mobile - Class One Window Tinting.

+1 for The Detailing Centre in Caloundra and Ceramic Pro. Dean and John are great, very passionate with their work too.

For all you Queenslanders new Prestige Select Plates are out 4 letters and 2 numbers for $1495, not a bad price compared to 4-6 characters for $2395, open to the public tomorrow, however if you have registered for pre-release you can buy them today. I have tried a range of combinations and too many to choose from. Lots of Pony available, I couldn't decide and went with FORD 50 (5.0) can get them in flexiplates and Phil at Lakins can make brackets to suit.
