Default Opticoat and detail

There have been some members looking for a great GTA detailer. Look no further than Wes at Orion. This is my car from last week.

Car looks awesome Moab. Love Basalt Black when its clean.

Both my Cayenne and my C4S received the Opticoat treatment by Wes. He is really good at it and a great guy to deal with. In fact just yesterday, two years after the Opticoat application and no follow up treatment, while washing my car outside I was asked if I just had it waxed.
After my Dad saw the result of Wes' work on my C4S he had him Opticoat his '06 S class which he loves almost as much as me.

One to two days if I recall correctly. And I would suppose that the price depends on how much work does a car need before the Opticoat can be applied. Thus its probably best to contact Wes with these questions 6four7-9nine9-8four99

Price is a few hundred dollars but again, I think it would depend on the car. I had opticoat and polish and it was several hundred.

Dropped car off Wednesday morning and picked it up Friday morning.

Been using Wes for a number of years across 5-6 different cars and have nothing but positive things to say... great quality work, reasonable prices, and a genuinely nice guy to boot. Def recommended.

Wes did the same detail + Opticoat on my GTS way back in February a few days after I picked it up. Some pics in the post below if anyone is interested.
