First off the only stupid questions are that ones that are not asked.

Sencond of all if you can feel the paint chip with your finger nail, it will not come out. This requires putty glaze and touch up paint.

Sorry if some one posted this aready im just catching up.

04Monte,
Would you recommend shying away from the machine buff everywhere, or just the dealership? Do you think a professional detail shop would take the time to remove the defects? Also, would asking a dealer the approximate time the job takes give me an idea of if they would remove the defects or simply cover them up?

Dont shy away just look on the lot and some of the other cars they have done.

Yes i belive a professional detail shop would take more time, be sure to slip in this tho " I have some friends that are looking to get there car detailed."

Depending on the condition of you car depends on the time spent. Most full details range from 3-5 hours. Other then that i would show the buffer/detailer the paint defects and ask him if they can come out.

oh btw ... anyone near chicago ... the offer for full detailing is extended to you as well ... just please dont have a black car :p its such a pain in the A$$


OOO very nice mc

The reason its a pain is because on the black cars every flaw shows, i belive kid space posted something about how to keep a black car clean. It envolved washing that car once or twice a month/week. You may already no this.


I have been detailing for the past 2 years and in that time i have done over 2000 cars. I was trained to buff by a man whos been Detailing for 30yrs and owned 3 detailing shops. This guy does a porche racing team and gets paid 5,000 to do that. This guys also does exotic cars around here.

Safe to say i payed attention. lol

Wow, a full detail in 3-5hrs? What does this detail comprise of? Just curious because a full detail takes me anywhere from 6-8hrs, that's with a machine.

When you say a full detail what does that entail. I herd and I can do a full detail with Interior and correction of swirls ect... It takes anywhere from 12 to 20 hrs depending on how bad and what car ect..

jaws2008 07-06-2010 09:17 AM

BTW most GM cars take longer to correct because the clear on GM cars is very hard and takes awhile to get the swirls ect.. out

My fiance just spent 7 hours yesterday detailing a pick-up truck - it was pretty bad and had to be wet sanded & buffed.
