Default Professional Detailing

Hey, i was wondering if anyone knew of any professional places that will detail your car. i always see places that just wash, polish and wax your car, but i have yet to find one that will ROB it with a compound to really get those swirls out. im too scared to ROB myself and would rather have it done by a real professional. if anyone knows of a good place in the bay area, preferrably east bay, thatd be great. thanks

Personally, I won't let anyone do to my car, what I'm capable of doing myself. That's just my .02. But good luck nonetheless.

Why don't you just pick up the Porter Cable 7424 and do it yourself? It'd be hella cheaper in the long run. Its not a ROB but it should still do the job.

You won't ruin it with a dual action buffer. A random orbital you run the risk of burning the paint.

I have a Porter Cable... gotta be pretty retarded to burn your paint with that thing. The amount of money you pay a professional will be enough to buy your Portercable and all the polish u need... don't waste that money man.

Hemant (ZainoDetailer) is the Northern California distributor of Zaino products. He also provides detailing services. I prefer to detail myself so I have not used his detailing service, but I have purchased many Zaino products from him. He is a class act. He is located in Fremont.

Sure, buying a 7424 for yourself is a good idea, but you will be hard pressed to achieve the same results someone experienced will. Post @ autopia.org in the southwest section asking for a local pro.
