I would encourage you guys to put LUSTR in the mix. Ivan and Umbra do great work. Ivan also did my detailing and C-Quartz. May not be the most convenient for guys in the city however.

OK cool so I talked to him
So 50 dollars off either partial/full hood for 3 -4 people And 75 dollars off partial/full hood for 5+ people The time frame is within 2-3 weeks if longer than he requests a small deposit... That you can work out with him. That being said I just want to say I have no business affiliation with design shielding. What I can tell you is he is a very honest guy who does amazing work. I am super anal and he has always met my expectations on at least 5 other cars. Thanks Jawwad |

hmm I have watched him do it and he will wash the car if it is sig dirty.. He clay bars and and will apply rubbing compound if sig imperfection exists. I have never fully detailed my cars prior to doing it, but that shouldn't stop you!

I had actually been playing phone tag with Rob Murphy at Design Shielding since last week and would be interested in perhaps participating in the group discount. When I talk to him, what and/or who should I mention? I had actually gotten a quote from Adam at Auto Tinting & Rock Guard (http://autotinting-rockguard.com/) for $2100 for Xpel full Hood, Bumper, Fenders, Rocker Panels, Door Edges, Door Cups, A Pillars, Bottom of Doors and rear bumper (he also quoted $245 for 3m fx premium window tinting). Any experience with Auto Tinting & Rock Guard? Is his quote comparable to Rob? Thanks in advance for the feedback. |

So I got a few more quotes today.
Quotes are for partial/full using Xpel Ultimate unless otherwise noted. They are also full price (no discount applied yet) Design Shielding (suntek): $650/$1,295 Carmel Tint: $795/$1,795 Darring's: $995/$1,895 Clear Guard: $680/$1,350 Body Skins: $775/$1,450 Abe's Custom Car Care (3M): $1,127/$1,976 Clear Bra Indy: $770/$1,150 this guy covers all of Indiana so he might travel to NW Indy, I visit family in Indy quite often which is why I wanted his quote As a general note, I was originally looking to spend $600 - $700 to keep rocks off my bumper with a clear bra but after looking around on different detailer/intaller websites, it seems like scare tactics to up-sell you! Or is this stuff actually worth it... full coverage ~$1,400, opticoat ~$400, paint enhancement before opticoat ~$300-$400, extra PPF (rocker panels, bumper, lights, roof) ~$500. It's a bit intimidating to pay for all of this stuff that you aren't even supposed to see. At what point is it overkill/too much? |

Based on my experience its worth it. I had my car fully detailed and then C-Quartz. The before and after in my opinion is amazing. The depth of the shine/paint is significantly better after. I had Xpel on the front bumper and mirrors. I passed on the hood. In hindsight, I would do the hood. I have two small rock chips in the hood. Not major but probably could have been avoided.

rob murphy did the full hood, partial fenders, full bumper, headlights, and mirrors on my 328 and with 28k miles the car still looks new. I like to clear bra but none of that other stuff. I only use good hand washes during the winter if I do not wash the car myself.

http://www.autowerkesexclusive.com/opticoat.html: "Can Opti Coat Pro be applied under clear bras? Yes, but give the Opti Coat Pro a week to cure before applying clear bra. Can it be applies over clear bras? Yes." http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showt...ra-XPel/page3: "Opti-Coat and Clear Bra/XPel With my delivery scheduled next month, I have read just about all of the posts about Opti-Coat and Xpel. I contacted the maker of Opti-Coat. Here is his direct email quote today: "We recommend applying Opti-Coat Pro before installing XPel - there are no problems with the clear bra adhering and if it became necessary to remove it, you are still protected. There is also no problem applying Pro over the bra (it's been done both ways) and some choose to do both - apply Opti-Coat under AND over the bra." Best Regards, Ronald Doyle Optimum Polymer Technologies, Inc." |
