Default Review for Uber-Shine Opti-Coat

I just had my Porsche paint polished and had it treated with Opti-Coat by Sim at Uber-Shine in Newmarket. All I can say is, wow! This stuff is amazing. I highly recommend it for your vehicles! And, as always, I highly recommend Sim to do the work. He is an official Certified Opti-Coat installer and when you combine that with his amazing paint skills, well, you get the best.

Thanks, Sim, for making my car shine! :-)

With full paint correction, I'd say $800. Could be as low as $600. Could be $1,000 with multi stage requirements. USA prices.

Sim is on here and I am sure will chime-in. I don't have any pics yet.

Zero. It's a high tech sealant nano coating. Wipe on, wipe off. Time dependent on temp and humidity.

The key is proper prep and paint correction.

Thanks palm. I'm really happy to hear that you liked the Optimum Gloss Coat! ...Unfortunately, no it won't protect the paint from the velocity of a stone impacting your paintwork ...I beleive the only true protection from stone chips is having the clear stoneguard film installed.
