Optimum Opti-Coat on Mercedes Benz AMG E-Class

Alright, alright.. i see your point with the price.. Didnt know it was only $25k.. See here, everything is 1.5x more expensive. I always go to different dealers looking at their new cars, and the IS 300 was $42k here.. So i forgot that cars are much cheaper in the states than down here in PR.. I applogize for that. I really like the IS300, but didnt know that it came with cloth standard. The one i looked at here had leather, or leatherette.. whatever its called..

Speaking of rip offs, gotta love the wimpy 3.3 litre V6 engine that comes in that heavy pathfinder u have :xyxthumbs . [/b]</blockquote>
No heat intended..

Hey.. it was NOT my choice of having a crappy 96 Pathfinder with crappy 168 hp engine, and a 3.3L. But hey.. When i bought this "rip off" or my parents bought i should say, it had 71,000 miles, perfect condition on the engine and body, leather seats, 10 disk Kenwood CD-Changer all for $14, 995.. I wanted a kick @$$ 97 540 the same place had with 89,000 miles for 19, 995.. What did my parents buy, the PATHFINDER.. they wanted me to have a "big car" as my first car, being that i they would feel much safer if i were driving an SUV.. whatever.. i would have liked the bmw..


Gimme 10 years.. thats all ill need, and ill come back, and show off my Mercedes CL 600! :D
Then we'll see who has a wimpy engine..
 
Give me 6-7 years and I'll come back with a Camaro SS or Vette. When its all said and done, college is completed (Bachelors degree, maybe Masters), and I go on active duty..I'll have about $500-700 a month for car payments and all the other stuff involved with owning a car. But only time will tell....



The color will either be Red or dark Green, nothing else.

The owner of this AMG Mercedes had contacted me some time ago as he wanted to ensure that his newly acquired pride and joy was properly protected from the harsh environmental conditions with a protective layer of Optimum Opti-Coat.

Optimum Opti-Coat forms a PERMANENT protective layer on the surface of the paint which helps protect the original paint from environmental damage. The Optimium Opti-Coat adds 2-3 microns to the thickness of the paint and is harder and more scratch resistant than the original factory paint. Optimum Opti-Coat also has superior hydrophobic properties which helps to ensure that dirt or other contaminants are less likely to bond with the paint and to make cleaning and maintaining the paint easier. Should there be any need to remove any stains which have bonded to the paint such as watermarks, the Optimum Opti-Coat can be polished while leaving the original factory paint untouched.

A common misconception with regards to coating is that the coat itself is the most important part of the process. The coating does matter but it is the surface preparation that makes all of the difference to the appearance of the paint and the coating is added as the last step to protect the paint. Any paint defects that are not corrected will be sealed in by the coating and hence it is critical to ensure the paint is properly corrected before coating.

This Mercedes Benz AMG E-Class took well over 15 hours and two-days to carry out the paint correction and Opti-Coating of the exterior and glass surfaces.
