We've got a guy that works on weekends, some evenings - all by appointment and he is definitely good.

Decided not to go to Steve's. I think it's more of a quick clay/polish/wax(only takes 3 hours). I want more in depth paint correction(swirls, scratches, possible wet sand). I'm going with a local body shop that does great work! The owner orginally had a traditional body shop, but he now has a Porsche restoration shop(his true passion), but he'll still work on my Vette.

Don't know how much he's going to charge, he wants to look at the car first.

Haha, didn't see this thread, but I'm Andrew. PM me some details about what you want done (i.e., engine washing, any aluninum polishing, color of your car, etc.) and I can give you a price. I use Autoglym and Automagic products. Here's a few examples of my work:







or if you come by RPM, look at Charlie's C5 or nick's gto.

Give Rob White a call, he's the shipping manager for Adam's Polishes and does do detailing when requested. Loads of experience and all the goodies you can imagine. Clay bar, polish (both high speed and low speed) plus wax. Interior, exterior - the whole 9 yards.

Fire him off an email at rob@adamspolishes.com
