Well now that we are friends I have a place I can stay when I go the PNW to ride....

Here is my GLE 63S right after Scott detailed it last. It's was cloudy out so not the best picture in the world.

I'm a newb to ceramic coatings. It looks like Opti-coat is one of the better ones out there to go with. I found an Opti-coat certified detailer near me.

Does anyone know roughly what the total cost of this is and how long the process takes?

It took my detailer 4.5 days to complete the job. What I had done was (high-level):
- Paint correction: 1 day
- Opti-Coat pro+ the entire exterior of the car: 2.5 days (IR curing) and spot checks
- Opti-Coat pro the rims and brake calipers: .5
- Opti-Guard for the leather seats and interior: .5 day

On the day of pickup, they did a walkthrough of what has been done and performed a Quality Check test using water to show how it repeals/bead water. Prices are a bit higher in the Bay area (San Jose, CA) than anywhere else, I paid $1900
