Opticoat - Toronto, GTA, Peterborough, Belleville, Kingston area?

hingisfan · May 30, 2014

Would it be just as worthwhile to get OptiCoat done on a colour like White or Silver? Or is it more beneficial for the darker colours?

Coatings are beneficial to any colour. Helps with bird poop etch, water spots and makes it easier to wash your car

What about for the overall look and paint correction?

I had Opticoat applied to my White S85 and followed up by having Proskin applied to the hood, fenders, etc. I'm very pleased by the look of both. It cleans up very easily as well, and judging by the number of bugs that I wipe out every week, ease of cleaning is important.

Paint correction can vary depending on the detailer you choose. You will likely get a better result with a detailer that uses Opticoat pro or Cquartz finest as they supplied to detailers that have a proven track record. Since anyone can by 2.0 or Cquartz/Cquartz UK there is lot more variability. I prefer the looks of finest over Opticoat and ease of cleaning, both are great products and if applied correctly will last a long time on your car.

I would likely use Kevin from GTA as many have recommended and get OptiCoat.

Is it too late for me to do this? I have had my car a year now and although there are no major scratches, there are minor ones and the usual wear and tear on the paint. Can these be minimized with repair work and the opticoat or am I just "sealing in" the existing imperfections at this point? I like the idea of reducing water spots and ease of cleaning. Plus I park in treed areas and get a lot of bird poop on my car in the summer.

Opticoat pro needs at least a minimum of a polish using the primer. Any decent detailer can correct the car, just expect a higher price than if you had it done new.

I think the best method is to keep the untreated car in the garage all the time. No treatment, no money spent on coating!
Sounds like the best deal to me! LOL!

Kevin at GTA In Detail - Professional Automotive Detailing in the Greater Toronto Area does Opticoat as mentioned earlier in this thread. I think he has a connection for window tint.
I used Kevin and I'm very happy. I had my tint done at the 3M dealer near Tesla service in Mississauga. They actually co-ordinated it for me.

What did they charge for the tint job?

Jgdixon · Jul 4, 2014

Can't really remember but I think $350?
Certainly under $500

I got my opticoat done by Hamza at "Get detailed". He did a great job and was very patient. And no pressure to do Cquartz.

I got my Xpel done from Richard of Milton who is the only authorized Xpel installer in this area.

Both of them (are not connected) did an excellent job on the car.

ive been a lurker for some time. I wish this werent my first post but I feel the need to add this. Ive been looking into having my car detailed and was sent this earlier today by a detailer I worked with when I lived down south.

I took some advice from this thread and went to Kevin at GTA in Detail in Mississauga this weekend. I opted for cQuartz Finest instead of Opticoat for my one-month-old P85.

Thanks again to Kevin. The results were stunning.

Beautiful!

BUMP....

Anyone know if Kevin at GTA in detail is still in business?

left 2 messages and emails with no response this week.

picking up my Tesla Tuesday and want to discuss Opticoat.

i heard a lot of good things about him but I am a little worried.

Yes, he's still around - I was in touch with him a couple of weeks ago. He's probably slammed with spring detailing work.

bryansbestwax · May 28, 2015

Kevin is very busy. Not sure how many weeks he is booked out at this point, probably a few
