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!

Volkswagen Alltrack

Jeff approached me not long ago about wanting to add rear fogs to his Alltrack and since I had already done this to my Alltrack, this was an easy task. He also wanted to add the European halogen tail lamps to his car, which adds an amber turn signal to the car instead of a red one. The entire kit also included a light switch to allow for the rear fog, coding, and LED reverse and fog bulbs. Thanks Jeff, enjoy!

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!
