ask if they use a razor....

some guys do, some dont......the 1st guy i use for our new pickup DID use razor...saw him trimming....someone who is really good doesnt have to use a razor to trim(and cut your paint up)

i used another guy for my gt500 and HC.....the 1st guy i used did such a bad job i had to take my truck back 3x's now for repairs....every time we go we see a $100,000+ car in his shop....from a Porsche to a Tesla.......people dont know what they are getting........i recommend getting multiple bids and asking each of them about the others....i found a guy who owns $600,000 worth of cars in his own collection...i decided someone like that is a true car guy and would never do any harm to my new cars

when i got my 3 bids for xpel they were all within $100 of each other.......so price isnt the issue at least around here...its all about the person putting it on

PS.---the doors look horrible with clear bra....a line cutting across it...it isnt hidden from any angle....i had the hood 1/3rd done---and it only shows from 1 angle...all others its invisible from....the doors though--yuck-----on the challenger its just a large straight piece of metal..no way to hide the line......on my gt500 its invisible everywhere...it ends right at the stickers on the side

I SHOULD have my CAT this week (NLT Wed) and will be taking it to Auto Spa next Mon the18th for the CQF package (detail, paint correction, 3 coats of CQF and rims). Should get it back that Wed (20th) and will definitely post pictures and review.

I feel pretty confident with Brian after my "interview" with him a couple weeks ago and looking at some of his work. He had a black C-10 in the shop while I was there and it looked great.

Haven't got it back yet. But did stop by yesterday to check on the progress.

Brian had to work on some spots that came from the factory & a couple of scratches the dealer wash guy put in it while washing it.

When I stopped by he was finished with the 2nd coat, getting 3 coats, and it looked great. All the scratches and defects are gone, or at least to where I can't see them.

Thanks.
Opti website has a locator to find detailers in your area that are authorized to work with the Pro product. Many of these dealers will have have suggestions (or do it them selves) of others they work with for the film.

Man it looks really sharp! What brand of clear bra did he use?

Ps: watch for the flooded road!
I just got the 3 coats of CQF. Brian did a great job.

Wanted to pick it up on a dry day but if you live in OK u know that might not be until June. Ha
