I would love to, but I need some serious tools. The kids have destroyed the back with crumbs and juice. I need someone to spend a day or so and give it a deep cleaning. Plus I live in a condo and it is tricky. Normally go to my brothers and use his driveway/garage. But don't have the time this week. And needs to be clean for a wedding on Sunday

But thanks for your great suggestion!!

Found a guy recommended by a friend. The guy's name is Mike and supposedly works on lots of high end cars! You know, those expensive Italian ones! He is not cheap but supposedly insanely good. I am booked for this Friday. I will let you guys know if he is any good. You know sometimes the car needs a day at the spa also!!

Ya, a bit out of my way. Already booked this guy, but if it is not up to quality I expect, I will check out that place. Thanks

i really want to know how to, but i really have no clue. any recommended places to read up on detailing?

I enjoy washing and cleaning my car and all but I've never done any detailing like buffing or clay bar etc.

Not walking distance, but this guy does amazing work. I've dealt with him in the past and he's a great guy and very passionate about his work.

meguiars has an excellent forum with tips for learning.

for OP get a list of the products and process the guy will use, thats also a good way to learn how to do it is from the detailer

Just saw the car! Mint! Show room condition! Clay bar and car brite products! Too nice to drive it now! Had white glue and melted skittles in the seat. All gone! New rule! No more food in the car!!!

If anyone is looking, I highly recommend. The wheels are clean clean! He even did the engine bay and took off the plates and cleaned it.
