I have also started detailing and can come to you, but it would be weekends only as I have a day job. I do exteriors and only do on-site for the "full deal"... i.e. clay, zaino (2-3 coats plus a wax if you like), polish metal, clean plastic, clean wheels. It's usually a 4-6 hours task.

And yeah, what Fed said

Yeah I definitely recommend him. The only thing is, if you're used to Zaino, then he's not your man. He uses his own products that he stands by. Anyhow, I'll check with him to see what his rates are and get back to you. Did you want a full detail(int/ext)?

I have a part time detailing business. I would charge $175.00 for a full detail which is interior/exterior and use a polish (critical to removing small scratches, acid rain, brake dust etc.) and preps surface for final wax. I dont use wax, use Klasse acrylic which lasts twice as long. I Zaino my own cars as it lasts longer and looks better unless a customer specifically requests it , then I charge about the same. Surface preperatio/knowledge is critical. Run your finger tips over surface, if it feels rough it needs to be clay barred and polished. Clay bar removes surface contamination, poilishing removes small scratches. Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for all your insight. I think I may take it to a honda dealer or a bodyshopt see what they say. I've only seen this happen on my car....you can't see it on the blue or silver S.
