 Opti-Coat Benefits – Why Get a Ceramic Coating?

Long-Lasting Protection

Opti-Coat provides your vehicle with another layer of protection on top the paint that helps prevent swirling and light scratches. Unlike traditional coatings, Opti-Coat offers years of protection with one application!

Incredible Gloss and Shine

Opti-Coat adds a layer of shine and slickness that will last wash after wash. Additional sealants and waxes can be easily applied on top of Opti-Coat for increased shine.

Hydrophobic Properties

Ceramic coatings repel water which helps prevent water spots and makes washing easy.

Easy Maintenance

Opti-Coat is chemically resistant and won’t dissolve after washing or under acids like bird droppings. With Opti-Coat’s superior protection, dirt and grime come off with ease without the need for additional waxes/sealants.

  •   Can't say enough great things about Smith Bros. Great website made it easy to understand services offered, book appointment, and get updates. Luke the owner was very responsive and great to work with. Anthony the detailer went above and beyond detailing our boat. I highly recommend Smith Bros!

  •   Very professional business, they sent a email confirmation the day before and Kevin called on his way here.  

    After sitting in are garage for many years, Kevin got our 2 Harleys looking almost new.  I was very happy with the results.  Will definitely use them again.

  •   I tried clicking six stars but it wouldn't let me...it's a rare company that can execute this well, so excited to share my experience.

    My random story:
    I had an immediate itch to get my car detailed this morning (been putting it off and I was lead to some sort of procrastination breakthrough); so I did some Yelp research, read some reviews, and called their number.  Luke picked up my call and he walked me through options and his recommendation, very helpful.  

    I asked if it was possible to do a detail today, knowing that could be a hard ask given their existing appointments; no worries either way, but I wanted to drive my clean ride to a special dinner that night.

    That afternoon, Brandon the stud detailer shows up and proceeds to do an amazing job on my black Audi.  He was very knowledgeable and professional, clearly knows what he's doing with amazing results.

    Wonderful experience, great job guys and truly appreciated.

  •   Extremely happy with the overall result and level of customer service. Daniel was friendly, very detail oriented, organized and did a fantastic job on my vehicle. I'm very impressed with the job he did and his personality in general. I couldn't have asked for a better detailer both in terms of the work itself but also how he is as a person. Thank you so much!

Ceramic Coating FAQ

How Do I Maintain My Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic Coatings make maintenance easy! While washes may be needed less often, it is definitely recommended to protect the warranty on your vehicle. We would recommend our Mini Detail once every few weeks to ensure your coating is in it’s best shape.

Why Shouldn't I Just Use a Store-Bought Sealant Instead?

A large part of why Opti-Coat Ceramic Coatings are so effective and last so long is the application process! Preparing the paint and applying the Opti-Coat Coating are very labor intensive processes that ensure you have a coating the lasts. Store-bought sealants are often just sprayed on to the paint and only last a few weeks. Opti-Coat provides a glossier, more hydrophobic, and longer lasting coating than cheaper alternatives.
