Default Looking for detailer in ATL

Unlike the poster in a recent thread, I've got a great Indy shop for my Cab. What I need is a recommendation for a good detailer who can buff my car. I'm afraid to take it to a stranger .... as I have seen finishes ruined in the process.

Preferably in the Marietta / West Cobb area.

Thanks in advance.

Buy a Porter Cable buffer and order some Zaino.
I would never trust somebody else working on my car...
There's lots of shops around here in Atlanta. Nobody I'd dare to recommend though.

Are you sure it needs buffed, or just a good clay bar and wax?

I was thinking the same thing, although I have the buffer from Griots. The only one I trust other than myself is my son, but that is because I taught him everything and watch him closely. Having said that, my son may be interested in detailing your car if you are game.

I'm not sure at all. I only know its 7 years old, has swirl marks and other surface blemishes including a little road tar/? behind the front wheels that does not respond to tar/sap remover.

My background with Porsches is in mechanical repairs .... I'll attempt just about anything .... but I know little / nothing about cosmetics beyond a good wash job.

I know there is a lot of information out there, and I'd actually be interested in some day getting into my own detailing .... but right now I hardly have time to even vacuum it out, and we can't use outdoor water to even wash our own cars (at home).

If you vouch for him, and he can get a nice finish without damaging the car .... along with removing all wax / buffing residue from door seams, handle edges, etc, ..... then I would definitely be interested.

PM me with a name & phone number ... or an email address where I can send my name & number if he is really interested.
