Gotcha. Half of my co workers live in the Valley.
If you come over the hill, most reputable shops are charging well into the $2k mark for full correction and "Pro" coatings. Even myself, I charge over $1k for full correction and application of consumer grade coating and I Detail out of my home on weekends.

Wow good to know. I moved from Bay Area about 18 years ago.

Im an authorized installer fo opticoat pro. The installation of Opticoat pro by itself is $800 opticoat pro+ is $1,200. A black, 1 year old maxima probably needed a full paint correction..that alone is priced separate. Im almost sure the installer told you that. You paid $1,000 for an interior detail, optimum primer polish (meant for light swilrs) and the application of opticoat pro with a warranty card. You sir, got what you paid for. Flawless finish wouldve started at 2k+ again, im sure the installer told you this

All I can say about this post is And if you quoted me those prices this is what I'd do...........

For those prices I could get a high quality repaint any day of the week.

I get it. Can be sticker shock to some people for sure. On a side note, if you can get your painter to paint any of my rides for $2 grand, I'll fly him out and have more cars to paint then he could dream of. lol

In my area no way this is true, and I dont know how Florida could be any better. Is this some sort of joke?

Whatever the price the detailer charged you for, I think it is the detailer's responsibility to achieve a flawless, or a near flawless finish, before applying the coat.
A coating will seal the defects, and correcting afterwards implies in removing it through heavy polishing.
If the detailer charged low, it is his fault. He made a bad deal, but he has to deliver his best, and prepare the paint prior to coating in the best way he can do it.
Even if I had to pay from my pocket, a car would never leave my premises coated like that.
It is my reputation on the line, a thread on AGO made on top of my poor job, very humiliating and unprofessional.
My two cents, best regards.
