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

Looks great in white
I've been mulling doing this especially with black, but what stops me is no longer needing to polish the thing (at least for a significant time)...part of the ownership experience and involvement for me is getting her glossed up and sexy.....I keep thinking I'll drift away if I can't and divorce her. Pretty sure there is a duration associated with reapplying?

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. |
