Thanks JayC, there are plenty of Detailers around here that I'd like to meet to improve my techniques. Haven't found my work satisfactory, so I'll keep improving which will probably be a never ending trend. :(



Anyone interested I think we're trying to decide on a Detail Meet, which would be fun.

I would definatly be interested in that. We tried last year to arrange one at my heated garage in the winter, but interest kinda flopped. Others said meeting at majestic solutions in raleigh would be a good idea.
 
Any recommendations on a detailer in the Havelock/New Bern, NC area? I've got two cars that need to get detailed sometime in the second half of next month.



1998 BMW 750il (My vehicle, relatively clean throughout, new paint job 10 August, looking for recommendations particularly for paint and leather care. Proper care of the leather is important to me. Black Int/Ext.)



2004 Nissan Altima (A friend's car, which is going to need more work on the interior than anything else. Cloth interior. Gold Ext/Black Int.)



I'm going to be out of town 5-15 Sep, but anytime after that would work for both vehicles.



Thanks!

ehh, closest I am is Wrightsville Beach to you.
 
*grumbles*



Noone out in my neck of the woods, eh? Such is the fate of one living in eastern NC...



Perhaps anyone have a reference (positive or negative can both be useful) on any of the 'commercial detailers' in the area?



I'm leery of them, just for the simple fact that while their service is supposed to be cleaning/protecting cars, most of their shops look like they haven't seen a broom or window cleaning in the last decade....
 
Drive it to the Triangle? Laugh, it's hard not being near big cities. I'm sure someone will chime in.
 
Can someone point me in the direction of a good detailer in Winston Salem? I am having serious problems with swirl marks/spider webs and a few scratches I was hoping to get fixed. I can travel as far east as Raleigh.

I've been detailing car by hand with Meguiar's for a long while. But, I'm a noob in the "PC Detailing" world. I've been learning to detail with my new PC on my wife's '98 explorer. Had good results, getting better. Working my way up to being brave enough to detail my G35. But, not brave enough yet. :chuckle:



I'm definately interested in a Detail Meet... even if I was just there to watch. I live in Raleigh, BTW. :waxing:



Cheers,

Hi all,



I live in Holly Springs and I have a 2006 Corvette (Black).



As you can expect, I'm extremely anal about the appearance of my baby. I do a decent job myself, keeping it clean as I can and making sure to baby the surface with microfiber towels and whatnot. I use Zaino products with fantastic results, and I have also used Menzerna polishes with a PC 7424 with great results.



However, I realize that unless you use a more serious machine polisher like a rotary, you'll never really remove the swirls.



So, I am looking for a serious detailer in the area that has experience with high-end vehicles and really knows what they are doing. Someone who knows how to remove swirls, particularly on black cars and can help me out every 6 months or so.



I have looked up plenty of shops, but it's like tossing a dart at the wall. So I'm hoping I'll find some serious referals here from people who know what they are doing and would trust a $50,000 car in the hands of another detailer.



Here's a couple pics of it. The first is after I went thru the process of using the PC with Menzerna Intense Polish and then Finishing Polish. I finished that off with a quick spray of Zaino (Z6).

Here's a pic of basically how it looks after a couple months of normal use...you can see the swirls that torment me! They aren't as bad as the pic makes them appear, but I did zoom in pretty closer and made the light just right to bring them out...

So who would you recommend in the RTP area who can get rid of these the right way and make it last?



Thanks for you time.
