Default VERY good detailer?

I need a AWESOME detailer in the area to do my car. Any of you know of anyone?

My car was keyed this week.





and i have tons of swirls anyways.

Its not that bad so hopefully it just details out.

I want EVERYTHING done, like waxed, polished, sealed. I want to try zaino too. What ever your suppose to do to make the paint last, as we all know im not the detail person, nor the keep your car clean 24/7 person.

I am a very detail person and your car looks like ****. How could you let your IS get that bad?

anyways, what waijai said could not be more true. I would even go on the line to say that scottwax might be one of the best detailers in the US and he just happens to live here in the metroplex. He will come to you too.

You don't need zaino. He will more than likley use duragloss which happens to be made by zaino bros . Just let him use what he thinks is best. The guy is just a bad ***. I know my **** about detailing and trust me he is the best around here.

Its really not that bad. Its only under under harsh light when the swirls show.
I thought I was being careful. I hand wash and everything. I used a new towel to dry every time. What I didn't know was that Sewell and Park Place uses the machine to wash it. And I let the dealer wash my car plenty of times.


People are telling me to get it sanded down and fixed that way. What would you recommend Troy? Would buffing get it out?

I'd recommend getting an estimate from scottwax. you can buff/polish out a lot of stuff, but black cars are on a whole other level. I worked on carchetects car for 4hrs one sat just in polish and still wasn't happy with the results.

that key mark .... man there is no buffing that out and you can't really use touch up paint. That would be a trip to clarkbro's for me and getting that whole section repainted. That's me though, I am super **** about my cars and their paint.

schedule with scott wax man. I read autopia all the time and he rules.

Is he expensive? I saw the prices but they dont tell you much. Looks like he does awesome work though. My ggp IS needs to be done it has a horrible $30 wax job courtesy of car spa on it now complete with buffer swirls and all.

he will be anywhere from 100-150 depending on how bad your car is. Just light swirl/etc it would probably be around 150.
