Requirements - New Car Prep - Opticoat - Clear Film Installation (Full Hood, Full Fenders, Bumper, Mirrors, Lights, Door Cups)

Another customer going to the extreme of bringing us a perfect car for a new car prep, Opti Coat - Clear Film Installation.

I have to say these guys (FRS/BRZ owners) get it. They are all doing what's right for their new cars at an early stage in its life. New Car Prep the "RIGHT" way/Opti Coat/ and many now are opting for clear film. This is a great way to protect your investment.

Random Clear Film Shots









After shots (sorry no after shots in the sunlight due to a tight schedule)

 

love that color............. something about having your car completely covered in painters tape is appealing.

 

That blue is really popping Phil. Great job.

 

Phil you applied the opticoat under the film right?

Any LSP over the PPF?

Car looks great-Nice job and documentation as usual.

 

Opti over the clear film only.

 

Great job guys, loving these cars each and every time I see them.

 

Nice work! Ill be doing a new car prep next month. Question...Using W99 in foam canon vs Adams shampoo in foam gun, Does the W99 work better? Or do you still use a car shampoo or just the W99?

 

That came out sick!

 

holy heck thats a lot of painters tape

 

Well done Phil and crew. Looks like a new car should.

 

Tons of gloss, nice work Phil.
