OptiCoat in Adelaide

SteveAus · 09-27-2013, 01:49 AM

If anyone is looking at getting their car Opticoated in Adelaide, I thoroughly recommend Hamish at Elite Finish.
I have just had my F30 335i and my wife's Mini Cooper S done and am thoroughly happy with the results on both cars. The 335i is new (April delivery), but the Mini is 4 years old now. They both look like they've just been driven out of the showroom (perhaps better than the showroom!).
Hamish is a very professional guy and did a fantastic job

I had mine done recently in Reflect Effect in Sydney, the car is so easy to clean.

opticoat is a permanent paint sealant
it usually costs between $500-1000 depending on how much prep is needed

Yes indeed. Not bad for a four year old car. I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results.

I'm interested in this as well, based in Adelaide with a new 335i M-Sport on order arriving early next year. How has it held up now after 3 months and what did they charge you?

3 months? These sealants are good for at least 2 years. I've had Hard Body on my car for over 1 year and it's improved in its hydrophobic properties since first applied.

Hi James,
Both cars still look exactly as they did when I picked them up from Hamish. And they are SO easy to clean now - even those bloody 403 rims on the F30

Tree sap and bird poo simply hose off. Brilliant!
Each car was $ 500.

Thanks Steve,
I may get them to do a pre-sale detail on my Audi before it goes on car sales as we'll.

Have been looking for a good detailer in Adelaide and these guys are fairly convenient for me.

Hi,
I'm new around here. Hoping to pick up my Mineral Grey 328i M-Sport in two weeks

Trouble is, I'm not in Adelaide, I'm in Brisbane.
I was wondering if anybody would be able to recommend a good detailer in Brisbane.
I've tried searching the forums but haven't come up with anything yet.

Cheers

If you looking for an alternative in Brisbane,

Check out solarstyle - www.solarstyle.net.au
I'm getting my yet to be delivered 328i tinted and opticoated by them next week if all goes to plan.

They rate really high across the forums, plus they work on a lot of BMW's as they do the work for Brisbane BMW.
