Once it is clayed, need to use a fine finishing polish or paint cleaning lotion before waxing.

Your are right,, less money is better for your wallet,, depends on what the vehicle needs. If you want the car to really shine and really care about the look of the paint, then it will cost to have a correction done to it.

We are trying to get a little detail show up with some of the local car clubs, so the folks can see what it all is about.

A full paint correction could be around 500.00 depending on what needs to be done. If I owned a high dollar car or let alone any car, I would not let it near a machine wash. That is how I do things. I care about my ride. By hand and 2 bucket wash only.

My friend goes to the Market of Marion to get hers done, she is very hapy with it. She walks around, shops while the car is being done!

I use Classic Detail (Mike) and he does decent job both inside and out. Also washes/wax the golf cart. I would recommend him and he comes to the house....very reasonable in price which depends upon the services requested and condition of the car itself. 352-242-0833

OH YEAH......KK's does really nice work..
Took in a Black Full Size that looked real sad.
Got back a unit that looks better than new.
I believe you could shave using the paint for a mirror.

Straight East from Morse on CR466.....When you cross over US 441/27
They are 2nd Bldg on the right...(Across from Advance Auto Parts.)
CR 466 is called Lemon St. there........(just EAST of US 441/27.)

They are too young for The Vilages...but his mom is a Villager.
