I'm just wondering if anyone has an opinion if it's worth setting up to be authorized to do opti coat pro applications. I have all the requirements together but I wasn't sure if it's going to benefit me since I'm not sure how many cars I could end up doing with opticoat. I've done 2.0 but that's slowed down for business and I've mostly been doing the Dp paint coating on cars being it's a bit cheaper and that's what people have been going with.

Now I just detail on the side from my home 1-3 cars a week so I am not a big operation. Just looking to get some input if it's worth my time to send out the paperwork and do it.
 
Are you just a word of mouth business or are you marketing with a website, FB, etc.?

If it's the latter I think it will help reinforce your professional image and why not. If it's the first probably won't change anything so why waste the effort.
 
If your doing this for a living then yes I make a lot of money being a pro installer. If you market it right it can be a big up sell for you.
 
Right now I have a Facebook page I just started doing but mostly word of mouth. No other real advertising. I have a full time job but still fit in a couple cars a week.

After the initial paperwork is there anything else required to do? And if I'm not going to have huge volume can I order product as I book cars or do they make you stock it?
 
I was thinking the aspect of being listed on their site would be good and as mentioned above it would look good and reinforce the professional aspect of my business.
 
I don't do OptiCoat Pro for the simple reason that I see no need in carrying 100k in insurance. I use 2.0 for that reason alone. I'm always straight up with customers about what I use, and I tell them that I'd be happy to refer them to a pro installer if they want, but that both are superior products and that I stand behind my installations with the same warranty pro installers do. I haven't had one customer be deterred yet.

If your detailing for a living then insurance is must for anyone. If you don't have insurance then that is just plain dumb really.
 
Yea I already have the insurance that's why I'm thinking about it. The only issue I have is they want a tax ID number and I'll be honest I haven't been 100 percent on tax things. I do a lot of cash business and haven't claimed much.
 
Again I have a full time job aside from detailing. It's always been just a small 1 or 2 day a week thing for me.

Who says I don't have insurance? All I said was that I see no reason to carry 100k in insurance.
