Your opinion matters, and I will greatly appreciate your support.
Loved this Podcast. I’ve used his products and after hearing this I will explore them more. I learned he really believes in what he invents & sells because he using a pure scientific method, not just what hype will sell more product. And his initial invention was to use on his own products. Plus the fact he was on the team that invented the clear coat technology there’s a real synergy there. On top of that he just seems like a real nice guy who actually will talk to his clients. I doubt you can actually talk to” Mother”, lol. Great job Mark in bringing us another great podcast. One more thing the mid 70’s Celica GT’s were modeled after the 69-70 Mustang Mach-1 just missing 4 cylinders.
I carpooled to Tech school with a guy who had a 73 Celica STS GT and I had a 70 Mustang Fastback. You could see the similarity.
Thank you for writing Dave. I agree completely. I’m in the process of testing Opti-Coat products on my cars and so far I love the results.
