Highly recommend having your installer apply Pro Plus over OptiCoat Pro. Pro Plus adds additional gloss, slickness and water spot resistance. We have applied ProPlus to the last 20-25 Tesla's we have opti'd. I also have it on my wife's Tesla. Hydrophobic water action is very much improved, which allows your paint to stay cleaner longer.
Right. That was the plan from the start. I should have been more clear.
It's done now. Here's what I learned:
- Bates Detailing outside of Nashville did the work. They were professional and great to do business with. Crew arrived to do the car and the owner showed up midway thru to check on the progress and talk to me
- They removed some imperfections in the paint by polishing the car. Some sections required more work than others. I wasn't keeping a close eye on them but this seemed to take about four hours for two guys
- They then applied the coating - it was a several step (two?) process with a glaze at the end
- They started about 9 am and finished sometime around 4 pm
- Total cost was $780 including a tip for the guys
- Owner is coming back in a week to make sure the coating has adhered properly
All in good stuff.

Not sure if this helps anyone but here's a shot of the fender. You can see me in it!
