When searching, no real replies were made when this question was asked.
Where's the best place that'll guarantee your rims don't get damaged during tire installations, whether low-pro or not, in the Hampton Roads area?
Best that anyone could come up with was Wheel Doctor in VA Beach that nobody could get a hold of, and some guy out of Millenium Autosports in Norfolk that repairs rims. No real experiences or recommendations given.
Also, no word on a good quality detailer in the area either. Some of us (as stated in another post) don't have experience with a buffer and can't get minor scratches out without ruining the paint on that body piece.
So, can we finally get some answers? There's got to be someone around that has gotten tires put on their rims and had a good experience, or had some flawless detail job done without having to go up to the DC area?

For your rims goto the nissan dealership in Chesespeke hall nissan ask for Dave he does my 19in Volk and does a perfect job each time on both sets. On the cleaning of your car I wouldn't trust to many people around here if you don't mind the drive up to sterling one guy on the boards here is a rep for meguires and does a spectacular job. Or if you want I have all the tools for what your looking for and can give you a hand just hit me up if you would like.

I've never used Zaino, just some of their European counterparts, but I always liked the mirror-like look of Zaino over the glossy/wet look of the products I use. There seems to be a distinct difference between the two, but maybe, just maybe, I can put my stuff on over the Zaino to get both looks (I've seen plenty of Zaino jobs that don't look glossy, they just end up looking like a mirror... which is nice in itself don't get me wrong).
Thanks for the info guys, glad this didn't just dissapear like most of the other threads created about these 2 things on this forum.

Call Joe's tire in VA Beach. Have had a few sets of wheels installed (custom) with no scratches or problems. CAll 623- TIRE and talk to Billy (owner), he will make sure you're treated right....... As far as detailing shops, can't help you.
