My scotchguard clear bra quote

Zipper 104

Since this might be of value to someone, and since I'm not one of those people that remain secretive about money and things, here's full disclosure.

I had Xpel (cut by my detailer in house off bulk rolls using Xpel computer templates) installed on the front bumper, (two pieces) headlamp lenses, full hood, A pillars, mirrors (two pieces each side) both front fenders, both rocker panels and a strip behind the rear wheel wells.
The car was completely color corrected and prepped front to back beforehand. Wheels off as well. I had owned the car just over a month and had not waxed it. I think I had only washed it twice at that point. It has not seen rain since September.
Anything that didn't get covered in Xpel Ultimate got C-Quartz Finest. I had the Sport 19" wheels C-Quartzed entirely as well including the barrels.
I was able to get it wet after 24 hours, but was not to wash it for 2 weeks. (IIRC) I left it a month before I washed it.
I paid $2500 CDN taxes in. (about $2100 USD approx. today)
I had a quote from a US detail shop in WA state and they were substantially higher in US dollars. It was going to be in the neighbourhood of $4000 CDN in the end. (Opti Coat substituted for C-Quartz however)
The only issue I had to face was, could the guy up here do the job, or was I going to have to have the WA guys repair a botched job?
I was assured multiple times that he was up to the task, took my chances and I'm real happy with the results.
