Opti coated my F80

found this shop in Katy via the Opti Coat website. Owner Jake is really attentive to details and did a good job. They even come to you to do the job. Applied coating to entire car including wheels and windows. If you mention BMW online forum you can get a $50 discount off the standard retail $495 price tag.

Is this worth doing if I'm having Xpel done on the car?

CiprianS this is a type of wax/paint treatment not a clear bra!

IMMLaw are you have the entire car wrapped in Xpel of just the front like most people? If having the whole car wrapped then this wont really help, but if only having the front wrapped then this is a good option.

I did this treatment to my car and the process is painfully long prepping the car and coating the car so a price tag of $450 from a detailer is actually really good since the coating costs $100 alone.

How are you enjoying the coat so far? Since you have MG, i'm really considering it when I get my car back.

Thanks for the reply/info steven. Good to know because I'm only doing the full front and roof in Xpel so I may go this route as well.

I had asked around and people suggested getting the clear bra (front) first and then put Opti coat over the entire car including over the clear bra.

Supposedly it is a very good protectant and it will help the car including wheels if you apply over them, to not get dirty rasily and easy to clean. Jake said I should never have to buff my car in the future.

Will report findings and post more pics in a week or so. Or you can google it lots of info on the net on Opti coat.

+1 on these questions. I was quoted $750 for CQuartz by Vive in Houston. I should have asked about the Opti Coat.

Also, did he wash the car for you beforehand? Mine is extremely dirty (I took delivery recently and refused the wash from the dealer because they use a machine to wash their cars there.. no thanks)

I was able to get next day appointment. They washed my car and prepped it before doing the Opti coat. Jake and his helper showed up.
