Thumbs up Looking for Professional to detail my "S"

Hey everyone,

I'm out of town a lot and unfortunately my "S" is paying the price. I just don't have the time to keep it as perfect as I'd like. I live in Central VT, but would be willing to travel some to get my car detailed and buffed. Anyone have any ideas?

Josh

Hey wanabe,

I hear ya and agree...just the whole time aspect is the issue. I can borrow a PC 7426 I believe, but have never buffed in my life. Scared to with the color of my car! Afraid I'll leave worse swirl marks than I already have from the two bucket method of washing. Right now because it's quick I'm just throwing on Eagle One wax as you dry to get some sort of coating on the car and make it shine and feel smooth like a babies butt. I know I'll get grief for using such products on my car, but it works pretty well to be honest.

How far away is New York/New Jersey?

I think Phil (Detailer's Domain) is somewhere in NJ. Not only is he a site sponsor, he's a seriously good detailer.

thats always an option.

and dont worry - i think most wackos here would agree they'd rather see someone putting some type of protection on their car (i don't care what brand) rather than nothing.

as i'm sure wanabe was getting into: there are TONS of useful threads / tips / tricks here on s2ki. you can learn everything you need, and of course with the detailing equipment you buy, your car will look good for years to come.

of course the nice thing about a pro is they do good work, will surely get you good results, and you don't have to worry about buying a bunch of new stuff.

just remember: with the pros, you get what you pay for. for the price of two good details from a pro, you could have everything u need to keep the S looking new.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I think maybe I'll just keep it home, spend the money, time, and learn how to do it myself.
