Polish and Optimum'd

Dealer threw in a few scratches for free on my M5. I've heard so many great things about Opti-Coat and so far, I'm thrilled. Was a little nervous getting her under the knife but Jason over at Chicago Auto Pros was superb - I ended up asking him about 50 questions. Totally recommended if you're anywhere within range. I only needed a 1 stage polish but it came out just about perfect...at least to my eye. In the right light...it's hard to tell what color it is when looking at spots.

In fact...I'm not even worried about it SNOWING right now!

Ended up getting featured too...shows some of the process too...enjoy

Can't wait to get my M5 opti-coated as soon as it gets here. @cassidysdad where did you have it done? Any recommendations to pass along?

i had allure detail in los angeles perform the service. there is a standard opticoat and a pro, which costs about 250 dollars more. The pro includes a limited lifetime warranty for new cars, I did it, but not sure whether it is worth it. The opti coat is awesome, would also have them do your wheels, makes clean up easy. I decided not to have the entire rim removed, and coated. (25 per wheel vs 125).

good luck
