    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.

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

    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?
