Default Looking for a recommended SOVA detailer

The reason I say not a business is because thet professional detailers charge rates that is just insane. I've had my one of my previous cars professionally detailed before but my wallet felt really light afterwards. Don't get me wrong, it looked better than new but the cost/benefit didn't compute. So I'm looking for a fellow car guy/s2k owner that does then at his home or something with reasonalbe prices. I need to get paint correction, bad! A good clay and buff is what I'm looking for.

Cheap and paint correction does not compute, unless you find someone working from home for $2/hour.

Cheap is a relative term. You should state your budget, what exactly you want (clay, light paint correction, moderate paint correction, wax, sealant, interior, exterior, etc.)

Unfortunately I live in NoVA. Otherwise we may be able to work something out.

Depends what kind of results you're after. ^^^

Claying and waxing your car by hand is doable and will net good results. Trying to correct paint with a random buffer and over the counter products will not get you the same results as the pros that post pictures in the car care section.

Nak,
PM'd you with some information.

I forgot to mention that with the link that I sent you the owner hung around for a little while to learn my methods and planned on purchasing a PC after. He was also nervous about working with his paint.

If you have any questions or want to see more of my work feel free to shoot me a pm.
