these guys did my tint a few weeks ago, good job, and they do the detailing too. cant comment on quality of the detailing though. It's currently run by some Latino guys....think it used to be owned by someone familar to iclub but these guys still were good. detailing isn't that hard.

And for about $150, you can pick up a Porter Cable 7424 random orbit polisher + some maguires fine cut cleaner and yellow wax and to the exterior yourself.

Then you keep the porter cable for all the rest of your cars!

and then pray you know how to use it so you dont burn up your paint...then you would have to repaint the damge.

unless you really know how to use a buffer...I would just suggest clay bar....

its really hard to burn paint with a random orbital... even a roterly buffer is kinda hard to burn pain, unless your like a super idiot that keeps the buffer on the same spot.

yes you are correct...I dont use a random orbital...I was thinking buffer. A random orbital dosnt do a good job at all for "buffing" the paint, like a roterly buffer does...maybe applying wax, but not buffing or polishing.

and yes...it is quite easy to burn your paint, not only by staying in one spot, but hitting edges as well. Either way...if you dont know what you are doing, it can cost you.

minor edit: PC 7336Sp is the way to go. I got the model wrong. This model is known for letting idiots "do it right", so, I bought it. Took out huge amounts of hard water marks on my car. I now swear by it.
