Nissan 240 SX - Coating

Well well well. What can I say about this car that hasn't already been said? Good friend Kevin has had the 240 beast here before and this time it was to coat it! When the car isn't hibernating in the Winter, it lives on the street and Kevin has a problem with leaves landing on the car and staining the white paint. Opti-Coat Pro not only provides 9H hardness to your factory clear coat, but it does provided resistance to the very problem that Kevin has been having! The coating won't allow the leaves to bond and though it may still leave behind some color, the UV inhibitors won't allow them to bond and etch when exposed to harmful UV rays.

All that, and it makes it look phenomenal and very hydrophobic! While it was here, I went a little beyond what I told Kevin I would do and made sure his new CTS-V brake calipers were prepped and coated to help keep brake dust from building up and bonding to them. This is a lifetime coating and for cars that are 5 years old or newer, it comes with a 5 year warranty on factory defects. Thanks Kevin...no speeding tickets please.

Volkswagen Tiguan - Coating

Jeremy had his 911 coated with Gloss Coat by me, so he is no stranger to Opti-Coat and the benefits of protecting your investment. This meant when his wife got a new car, having it coated with Opti-Coat Pro, Opti-Guard Leather and Fabric, and Opti-Glass Pro was high on the priority list!

The car had been detailed by the dealership and there were many swirls to remove in order to make it look better than new. Thankfully, Optimum's polishes made quick work of this and soon it was ready to be coated. The interior was already pretty clean so not much was needed in order to prepare the leather and cloth for coating. This isn't a topic discussed much but Opti-Coat's fabric and leather coatings are a great way to protect from spills and UV rays, each backed with a 5 year warranty.

Finished up with Opti-Glass Pro, giving resistance to rain, snow, and ice since the vehicle is kept outside all the time! All in all, making sure you protect your investment from as soon as you get it is the best way to save on costly corrections and repairs in the future. Thanks Jeremy and Tiff!

Tesla Model S 75D - Coating

My brother and sister-in-law recently picked up a new Tesla Model S 75D and of course they wanted to be sure their investment was properly protected for years to come. This meant two things: Opti-Coat Pro+ and Opti-Glass Pro. Opti-Coat Pro+ is a lifetime coating that comes with a 7 year manufacturer warranty and will protect from harmful chemicals and UV rays. Opti-Glass Pro is a ceramic glass coating that lasts about 2 years and provides some serious chemical and water resistance, which is good considering the entire roof on this car is glass.

Thankfully, this paint wasn't as soft as I had heard it might be and it polished out very well prior to coating. It was well worth the five hour drive to their house to get this done and I look forward to seeing it again and again! Thanks Nik and Michelle!

Volkswagen Golf R

Alex had me bring his Golf R back in for a clean up and this is an important post, not meant to embarrass Alex. CERAMIC COATINGS ARE NOT BULLETPROOF. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Alex had a mark from he thinks was a leaf on his hood and after washing decided to clay bar the area. For me, not knowing the condition of the clay, it is hard to say what happened. But the end result was scratching. Luckily, it was the coating that took the brunt of the damage and not his paint.

I was able to polish out the damage and re-coat the area and all is well with the universe again. I will say that if he had consulted with me prior to the clay, I would have told him to wash the vehicle, use Power Clean on that area, and once all washed and dry, not touch it for a week. The sunlight would have acted as an exfoliant with the coating to shed the contaminants. Sounds like magic...and it really does work.

Live and learn! Thanks Alex, enjoy!
