I was quoted $60 an hour, possibly up to 20 hours ($1,200) to have an opti-coat seal applied to my $75,000 BMW 6 series after a full wash and polish.



I was quoted $60 an hour (roughly 8 hours) to polish and opti-coat four rims ($500).



Grand total to opti-coat my car: ....... 3+ days and roughly $1,700.



I had the exact same car done by Detail Works in San Diego CA *to perfection* for $350 flat fee.



Is $1700 reasonable for the exact same service with the addition of opti-coat?





Please note... this is a brand new car. It rolled off the lot 1 month ago. It was also given a new paint job from metallic to jet black less than 2 months ago. The paint job was evaluated by a professional and deemed "amazing". After a few washes, some buffer trails began to appear (very minor, noticeable only in certain light) on the hood. The car is in perfect condition, and has 1,500 miles on it. The aftermarket rims are also brand new with about 500 miles on them. I just want my rims and paint sealed. As part of this, the items need minor cleaning and polishing.
