$2k!!! :eek: That's expensive for the application of a silica coating that's not overly different to the rest that are available, including the Motorcare coating. Keep in mind that silica coatings...

Not sure their reasons for using Permagard. Slick marketing and sales pitch could be a factor.

If Opti-Coat (or any coating for that matter) stops beading it is usually contamination build up on...

Permagard is a silica based coating where as Opti-Coat is a ceramic polymer coating, two different things.

Hopefully a chemistry-based comparison as explained by Dr David Ghodoussi, founder of...

Don't even let the dealership wash your car, they have a habit of doing more damage than anything. They are getting better mind you.

Try Hamish at Elite Finish. He can look after your paint...

Anything in NSW declared a write off is now a statutory write off, no more repairable write offs.

Are you referring to Opticoat Gloss Coat or Opticoat Pro?

Either way, you will have a hard time telling the difference in appearance between the different coatings available. How the car is...

Both of these coatings are quite a different to each other in composition. Opti-Coat is a ceramic polymer coating while Ceramic Pro, like many other coatings (C.Quartz, 22PLE, Modesta etc) is a glass...

It's hard to tell from the photos, but it appears you have water spotting. Tap water being allowed to dry on the car during or after washing in pre-delivery is most likely the cause. As the water...

Not necessarily, get a quote from them and find out.

It's always best to get a few quotes to make sure you are paying the right price.

You're not alone! I walked past a parked white Audi S1 few days ago, was absolutely covered in the same bugs.

What I did notice, in that whole line of cars only the white cars had bugs on them....

Comparing Tough Seal to Opti-Coat is like comparing VHS to Blu Ray.

Just because it's a new car don't assume the paint will be in good condition when you pick it up, I've seen new cars looking like they have been washed with sandpaper.

The best way to go if you...

Don't bother with the dealership paint protection, it's a poor quality sealant that will last a few months at best and is marked up with a huge margin.

Depending on how much work you want to put...

I can't help you with where to go, but I will advise you to get a reputable tyre shop to fix it because legally the tyre needs to be plugged from the inside out. A potential problem I see with yours...

If you haven't already, get some good quality paint protection onto it. Will make cleaning easier.

Haven't used anyone myself because I detail my car myself.

Superior Shine or Dave at Reflect Effect would be my pick.

Were they grey before or after they have faded in Australia's sun?

Try Solution Finish on faded black plastic trim, it is amazing stuff.

Best bet nearest yo would be Reflect Effect

That's a very broad sweeping statement...

Coatings are good for people who don't have the time or place to reapply a wax or sealant every 2 to 12 months. I really look after my car but have a...

Lol!

If it's the same as my local Bunnings, it's to the right of the sandpaper ;)

Lets us know how you go

Bunnings Warehouse, in the paint section near the sandpaper.

Soz I can't be any more specific. :P

Clean them up with 0000 steel wool and a metal polish like Autosol. I have seen Mk6 GTI tips go from looking like they were painted black back to factory finish.

You could try a high temprature...

If you want Opti-Coat Reflect Effect at Parramatta would be my pick.
