Default Ill do it to help out

If you help me, I can do it for like 75 bucks.
Depending on the condition and scratches I need to get out.

I use a dewalt variable speed buffer and all 3m products.
I usually detail cars with murals on them and black cars.

I can get 99% of the swirl marks out after the initial buff/scratch removal

I dont use a wax. Eventually the wax will start to haze. Especially if you have carbon fiber.

Justin - What are you doing up so late or early for that matter? I see Jeffie is up too.

Btw - Gunser - Mason does detailing. Drive to Hagerstown though since he has a 1 hour drive limit. Check out www.blacklabeldetail.com - I plan to get my Z BLINGING, as HKS-Z - the other Justin would put it, when the weather totally clears.

Default group buffing. LOL

Hey lots of people are interested, so why not all help each other out.
Its about an 1-2 hour drive, so we could meet somewhere half way between and all help each other out. Just pay for the materials and thats it. Labor free.

i can show everyone how to use a variable speed buffer, what materials work best, ect.

We can all wash the cars, dry them and then break into groups to complete each car. I can buff them, someone else can remove the residue. Pretty quick process if I have two people behind me getting the wax off.(although its not wax)

What do you guys think. Maybe 3 cars at a time. So far Punisher and Eric are interested too!

Default I dont work for a detail shop

I only learned to do the work, because a body shop messed me over.
Twice(2 diff shops)

The first shop coated my car with overspray for 2 months while other work was being done, and they wouldnt fix the car. Long story short I bought the sand paper, buffer and materials, added my time and then subtracted all of that from the bill and told the shop to get bent.

Shop two did a bad job of detailing the car mural, so I did it myself.

I did many black cars, until I became very good at it.

You say a variable buffer....is that a rotary.I use a flex 3401 orbital + forced rotary polisher which is nothing as anemic as a buffer.

I'll be doing detailing in the central MD area as of the end of this week (waiting for late supplies to come in). We'll offer full interior/exterior/engine bay detailing depending on what you need. Of course, we'll offer discounts for fellow Z owners =]

PM me with any questions! I'll keep you all updated when we become operational.

i am a detailer. i have owned Pro-Mobile Detail for over 10 years. my titan is my shop. we come to you. i travel as far as annapolis, and i live in towson.
i generally stay booked for about 1-2 weeks so call me ahead of time.
i generally charge $100 for a detail on the Z. compounding and machine polishing will cost a bit more. zymol carbon will cost a bit more as well.
$100 gets ya: hand wash, tar removal, clay bar, hand wax, wheels, tires, windows, jams, interior cleaned, carpet shampoo, leather conditioner.
i do everything except wash engine bays.
i don't think i should include my phone # here as i am only a member, but pm me if you have any questions. BTW i am a guy so there will be no yellowlady hottie detailing your car. i really regret that screen name. LOL
