I got my car back from Dan after Opticoating earlier this week and I'm very happy with the results. Dan has put a great set of photos up online so I won't repost them here. You can see them all at http://www.detailparadise.com.au/showthread.php?12810-Tesla-Model-S-P85-Multicoat-Red.
There are a few great photos of my multicoat red car next to a signature red car that he had in at the same time.

Just had my car Opti coated by Matt @ Top Notch Car Care. Went with Matt as he comes to you.
Car looks fantastic. There were some scratches when I took delivery and fine swirls throughout the paintwork... the price you pay for a black car I guess. All gone now however.
Matt commented it's one of the softest paints he has come across so hopefully this protects it for a while.

You will find that it makes it really easy to wash. Leave it for about a month to cure fully, though.

Thanks Dborn,
Noticed your comments from this thread also Opticoat Problem | Forums | Tesla Motors
So getting wet is ok? (Matt said I can drive it tomorrow), but don't wash it for a month?
I was hoping to drive it on the weekend...

Hmm...my car is booked in for OptiCoat in August, its highly unlikely that it won't rain for a week, does this mean that I should leave it inside for a week?

For those that have had opticote applied to Pearl white, has it made a noticeable difference. It seems to show well on dark colours but hard to tell on white.

I'm happy with Opti-coat. Seems to bring out the pearl essence even more, and as others have commented, nice protection and washing easier.
Another great job by Dan - and a cautionary tale....

VIP car care in Moorabbin. See Alan Smith. Is an authorised applier of Ceramic Bond 9H and very reasonably priced.
I ended up getting this self healing coat put on - which has been incredible. Feynlab self heal I think it was called. Drove the car in the storm in Melbourne over the weekend besides being impressed with the cars handling in the wet - was bizarre to see how the water flew from the car.

How much of the car did you get covered?
How much did it cost?
Any glass treatment?

i got 100% of the car covered - very happy with it. Think the cost will depend on the condition of the car. These guys took every single scratch out of my car.

It was around $2k AUD. They did say it would be a lot less for a new car - as there is less work to do on it. My car had quite a few scratches on it.
