I've booked in for an Opticoat Pro+ treatment at Protektauto this Wednesday. Will report on my experience.

how much did they quote you? Planning to get mine done too and it's about $1400

That is pricey. I got a quote for OC from Solartint and it was only $1100?

My Tig is White, not sure if that makes a difference?

No difference for what needs to actually be done (if done properly).

Price difference will often be down to overheads level, their desired profit level, and most importantly just how much time and care they spend on the correction/surface prep stage of things.

I've seen the difference between a one day job (my Dubs) and a two day job (my Audi S3) and there was a noticeable difference. Having said that, my cars are dailys, not show cars, so I can't justify spending too much on it. But ETTO.

Fair call, these guys want the car for 2 days.

I was quoted cheaper by a mobile detailer but I thought a two day effort was a better idea for more money.

Yep that's a reasonable price then. At the end of the day a few hundred bucks difference here is irrelevant, what matters is their form/prior work and whether you're happy.

I hope they've improved the glass formula - I had it on my Mk6 and it was awesome for a fortnight and then was a horrible mess; I've never re-ordered since.
