Detail Shop

[dnwong]

Any recomendations on a detail shop or individual. I have lots of veryfine hairline scratches and wanted if it can be take out without damaging the original paint.

I recently had MY01 996 done by a NOVA resident working his way through school. Though not a pro, he was more contientious, knowledgable and detailed then most pros. Spent 9 hours in my garage, and total cost was ~ $250. Results were fantastic - got rid of all my swirlies. Picture doesn't do his work justice.

I do NOT recommend Detail Authority (Herndon). I used them about a month ago, and found they missed a lot of things that were obvious to me when I arrived to pick-up the car. As a result, the manager had to do the follow-up work while I waited around in the lobby. So, I'll be interested in the recommnedations you get, because I'm looking for a different/better shop.

The one that works out Curry’s in Dulles did a good job on Linda’s ’87 Targa.

I used America's Auto Detail in Tyson's Corner. They did a great job taking out light scratches on my 911, and also did a terrific job on a friend's 993. I've seen them working on a late 50's Corvette too.

Hey, sign me up, too. I don't know how you can afford to do this for us so cheaply, Keith, but this shows the wonderful Dorki spirit. I'll drop my car off whenever would be a good time for you.:p

:shock: :shock: :shock: ...er....did I say that?

It's sick I know, but I actually LIKE to detail cars especially the polishing and paint re-vitalizing. If I had more time, I'd probably do it for free.

...nah ...on second thought, ya'll better DIY. ;)
