Talking Has anybody ever heard of Modesta Protective Coating?

Has anybody ever heard of Modesta Protective Coating? Anyone had their W205 or any other car detailed with Modesta? I am thinking of applying it to my car, but I want to see what it looks like on a W205 before I spend $1300-$1500 on it

this is the product's main site http://www.modesta.co

Modesta

I recently had my car detailed and finished off with Modesta bc-05. My other cars had opticoat pro, and there is a difference. The depth and clarity of Modesta is better. It boasts a thicker protective coating as well. The application is more difficult. My detailer commented that it's like putting on cement. The process and quality accounts for the expensive price. Not to mention that there are only a handful of detailers authorized to install it.

I would have that price shopped around to local high end detailers in your area.

I found an authorized detailer that is in my area

Do you happen to have any pictures of your car? like Before & After the Modesta ?

I found a local detailer in my area that is authorized in applying the MODESTA coating. He told me that it would cost about $1350

This is their website : http://www.speedfreakdetailing.com/#!modesta/clyp

I found out that there are only a handful of detailers in the US who are supplied with the MODESTA and are authorized to apply/install it.

I don't have before pics because the car was extra filthy with winter slush.
The finish is mirror like, ie glass coating. The picture attached shows the difference between xpel film and Modesta. My hood and bumper are wrapped with xpel, the fender is not. If you look closely, the parts with the film looks a bit cloudy. The reflection of the lights are clearer on the fender.

Here's an outdoor shot. Notice the reflection on the paint. You can even see the reflection of the "c63" under the spoiler.

It's not what you're asking for, but I hope it helps. Pics were taken by a nonprofessional with shaky hands with an iPhone.
