Treated my ST to a day spa today and got Opti Coat inside and out.
Its parked outside most of the time and i really want to try and keep the paint looking as good as possible for as long as possible. Frank from Bright Shine Mobile in Parramatta did a fantastic job, working on the car for a solid 4 hours. I couldn't be happier with the end result, car looks better than when i picked it up from the dealer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The ST looks fantastic garat05, congratulations.
How long after delivery, was it before the Opti Coat was fitted ? Taking delivery off a new Kuga in the new year and would strongly consider getting Opti Coat, considering how good the ST looks. |

Thanks everyone.
I had the car 3 weeks before I got it done. Its got a life time warranty and doesn't need refreshing apparently will see how we go I guess, you don't need to polish it ever either. The paint certainly looks and feels better...heaps smoother to touch and nice and glossy. |

Looks good man. Thats the first time ive heard that a coating does not need re-applying. My ST is coated but will need a re-coat in 3 years time.
Might look into this stuff of yours when im due ![]()

I have it on my ute.
hard as a rock and extremely thick. If treated correctly, wont need reapplying. Best thing since sliced bread.. However, a yearly inspection (wash etc..) is part of the service for the lifetime warranty afaik |

Yep its supposed to last if you keep with a little maintenance, ie washing every week.
Cost me $650 for both inside and out (inside is basically a industrial dose of scotch guard) its usually 650 outside and 350ish for interior...I got the guys name from a mate who is in the NSW 86 club who have done a bunch of members cars and all had positive comments. One thing I've noticed right away is that you get a heap less road grime sticking to the car, I just did a 600k weekend away and aside from bugs on the front the car is still clean and shiny. If your interested give Frank from Brightshine a call and tell him Dan with the white ST mentioned his name he should give you a similar deal. |
