I picked up my car from Bob at autoconcierge a few weeks ago and it looks amazing! I've received so many compliments on the car since. Definitely bring your car to Bob.

Larry, dont go with anyone else. Bob is the man. He did my car for car week in Monterey. You saw how flawless and shiny he got the GT Silver color.

What's the advantage with opti coat, an alternative to clear bra or simply a alternative to wax?

There's a million coating products that have arrived in the last couple of years in that product segment. Is he not using coatings at all any longer or just not using the optimum coating?

I used to be in that industry myself and Bob is one of the finest out there anywhere.

Would never argue Bob is the man, just my understanding from someone I sent to him 2 months ago is that he no longer uses opti coat

This will become like a religious debate.

they supposedly last longer. They're a "wax", not a clear bra.

I'm old fashioned. I just wax often (usually by hand) with a high quality synthetic.

Coatings are typically a pain in the *** to work with.

Probably Modesta. It's the best coating out there according to many detailers. Modesta BC-04 or 05. Not a cheap coating, but people swear by it.
