    Requirements - New Car Prep - Opticoat - 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.

    Take a look at how I was given the this new one, wrapped from the factory plus 3m masking tape on areas not covered. Customer drove up from Virginia!!!

    Another good one Phil. I've noticed that these cars are really getting started on the right foot, lots of coating going on these rides lately.

    Great job on the car guys.

    Is it possible to do clear protective film solo, or are two people required most of the time?

    Is the shop getting a new floor Phil?
