Lifetime Protection Package
Opti-Coat Pro3 with a manufacturer-backed lifetime warranty. The most advanced ceramic protection available in North Idaho.
What Does the Lifetime Protection Package Include?
Opti-Coat Pro3. Industrial Diamond Ceramic. Manufacturer-Backed Warranty.
Bryan Car Care is the only authorized Opti-Coat Pro3 installer in the Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene market. Opti-Coat Pro3 is territory-protected, meaning no other shop in this area has access to the product. This is the most advanced ceramic protection system available in North Idaho.
Opti-Coat Pro3 uses SiC (Silicon Carbide) chemistry that permanently bonds to your clear coat through chemical crosslinking. It becomes part of the paint structure, not a layer sitting on top. The result is a 4-layer, 10-12 micron film, roughly 4x the thickness of standard ceramic coatings. Pro3 is rated at 2,000 grams on the tungsten carbide needle scratch test and has been Boeing tested and rated.
The warranty is issued and backed directly by Opti-Coat LLC out of Memphis, TN. They have been in business since 2001. Every vehicle also receives a complete interior detail, full paint correction, wheels-off protection, glass coating (Opti-Glass Pro), trim coating (Opti-Trim Protect), wheel coating (Opti-Metal Coat), interior ceramic (Opti-Guard), CARFAX registration, and a digital inspection report.
Why Does Paint Correction Come Before Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic coating locks in whatever is underneath. Swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation trapped beneath a coating become permanent. Bryan Car Care performs full professional paint correction before any ceramic layer is applied.
Paint correction removes defects, restores clarity, and refines the gloss to the highest level the paint will allow. Bryan Car Care does not use preset “one-step” correction or time-limited processes. Correction continues until the paint meets our standard.
The quality of the SiC bond depends directly on surface preparation. No ceramic coating is applied until the surface is ready. The foundation determines how the finished result looks, feels, and performs for the life of the vehicle.
What's Included
Complete Interior Detail
Every surface inside the cabin is cleaned, conditioned, and protected. Interior surfaces receive Opti-Guard ceramic protection for long-term stain resistance and easy cleaning. The interior receives the same level of attention as the exterior, bringing the entire vehicle to a consistent standard of presentation.
Exterior Preparation and Refinement
The exterior goes through a full wash, chemical decontamination, and mechanical decontamination before paint correction begins. Surface preparation ensures the SiC ceramic bonds properly and performs at its full potential for the life of the coating.
4-Layer Opti-Coat Pro3 Ceramic System
The Opti-Coat Pro3 system uses a SiC (Silicon Carbide) basecoat with an SiO2 hybrid topcoat. Four layers are applied to achieve 10-12 micron film thickness, roughly 4x the thickness of standard ceramic coatings. Pro3 is rated at 2,000 grams on the tungsten carbide needle scratch test, nearly double the standard Opti-Coat Pro Plus. This coating has been Boeing tested and rated. Each layer is installed with proper cure time between applications to ensure maximum bond strength and long-term performance.
Wheels-Off Protection
Wheels are removed so both faces and barrels can be fully coated with Opti-Metal Coat. Brake calipers are cleaned and ceramic-coated to protect against brake dust buildup. Partial coverage is not part of Bryan Car Care's process.
Glass, Trim, and Plastics
All exterior glass receives Opti-Glass Pro for hydrophobic protection and improved visibility in rain and snow. Trim and plastics are sealed with Opti-Trim Protect to prevent fading, cracking, and UV degradation over the life of the protection plan.
Process and Timeline
The Lifetime Protection requires a 72-hour in-shop stay. Quality control demands a controlled environment, proper SiC cure times, and thorough final inspection. This service is performed exclusively at Bryan Car Care's Post Falls facility.
- 72-hour shop stay from drop-off to pick-up
- Drop off in the morning at the scheduled appointment
- Pick up exactly three days later, fully cured and fully protected
The controlled environment is critical for proper SiC bond formation. Rushing ceramic coating application compromises adhesion and longevity. Bryan Car Care allocates the time each vehicle actually needs.
Pricing and Next Steps
The Lifetime Protection Package starts at $3,395. Final pricing depends on vehicle size and current paint condition, not on reduced correction or shortcuts.
Schedule a consultation to have your vehicle evaluated in person. Bryan Car Care will walk through the process, assess your paint, and provide an accurate estimate.

Your Investment is Protected
The warranty on the Lifetime Protection Package is issued and backed by Opti-Coat LLC, not just the shop. Your protection is registered in a national database and can be serviced by any authorized Opti-Coat installer in the US or Canada if you move or if the shop closes.
- Lifetime Warranty with Annual Maintenance. The lifetime warranty term requires a $350 annual maintenance visit from any authorized Opti-Coat installer. Without annual maintenance, the warranty covers 10 years. Both are strong outcomes.
- Nearly Double the Scratch Resistance. Opti-Coat Pro3 is rated at 2,000 grams on the tungsten carbide needle scratch test, compared to 1,100 grams for standard Opti-Coat Pro Plus. That upgrade in hardness is one of the key reasons Pro3 carries a lifetime warranty option.
- $5,000 Coverage Limit Per Claim. The warranty covers environmental damage, etching, bird droppings, bug splatter, acid rain, industrial fallout, UV damage, and oxidation up to $5,000 per claim.
- Vehicle Age Conditions. Vehicles 5 model years or newer receive the full lifetime or 10-year warranty. Vehicles 6-10 model years old receive 5-year coverage. Vehicles over 10 model years are not eligible.
- Opti-Coat LLC National Database. Your vehicle is registered directly with Opti-Coat LLC. You will receive a confirmation email from the manufacturer. Any authorized installer nationwide can look up and service your warranty.
- CARFAX Registration.Bryan Car Care registers every Protection Plan directly on CARFAX. No other detailer in the Coeur d'Alene or Spokane area documents ceramic coating work on CARFAX.
- Digital Inspection Report. Every vehicle receives a comprehensive photo-documented report showing each stage of the process, from intake condition to final result.
- Transferable. The warranty transfers to the next owner if you sell your vehicle. Buyers can verify the protection through both CARFAX and the Opti-Coat national database.
Your $3,395 investment is backed by the manufacturer, registered nationally, documented on CARFAX, and fully transferable.

The Lifetime Protection Package breaks down to roughly $0.93 per day over a 10-year period, and even less over a lifetime of ownership. That daily investment covers professional paint correction, a 4-layer SiC industrial diamond ceramic system, CARFAX registration, and a manufacturer-backed warranty from Opti-Coat LLC. Bryan Car Care is the only authorized Opti-Coat Pro3 installer in the Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene market. No other shop in the area has access to this product.
The Lifetime Protection requires a 72-hour in-shop stay. Drop your vehicle off in the morning and pick up exactly three days later. The 72-hour timeline allows proper paint correction without rushing, controlled SiC ceramic layer application with full cure time between coats, and a thorough final inspection before delivery. The controlled environment is critical for proper SiC bond formation.
The Lifetime Protection warranty is fully transferable. When you sell your vehicle, the remaining warranty coverage transfers to the new owner. The warranty is backed by Opti-Coat LLC and registered in their national database, so buyers can verify protection through both the Opti-Coat system and the CARFAX record. This adds documented value to any private sale or trade-in.
No mandatory maintenance is required for the 10-year warranty term. If you want lifetime coverage, Opti-Coat LLC requires a $350 annual maintenance visit from any authorized Opti-Coat installer in the US or Canada. Both outcomes are excellent. You get a minimum of 10 years of manufacturer-backed protection with no strings attached, and the option to extend that for life with a simple annual visit.
Opti-Coat Pro3 uses Silicon Carbide (SiC) chemistry instead of the Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) found in most ceramic coatings. SiC permanently bonds to clear coat through chemical crosslinking, becoming part of the paint structure rather than a layer sitting on top. Pro3 is rated at 2,000 grams on the tungsten carbide needle scratch test, nearly double the standard Opti-Coat Pro Plus. It has been Boeing tested and rated, and was the first ceramic coating available in North America. Formulated by Dr. David Ghodoussi, a polymer chemist with over 12 years in automotive paint R&D. No toppers or maintenance coatings are required to maintain performance. The warranty is backed by the manufacturer, not just the shop.
Your warranty is registered in Opti-Coat's national database and backed directly by Opti-Coat LLC. Any authorized installer in the US and Canada can service the warranty. Your coverage does not depend on any single shop remaining in business.
