Good detail shop around Dallas?

SM5654 · 10-21-2010, 11:42 AM

So I've encountered some swirls in my paint left by the previous owner. My car is black and I was wondering if any of y'all know a shop that you trust around Dallas? I have an orbital buffer but the swirls are on the whole car, it would probably take me forever. Thanks for the input

I had the same problem.. I just used a drill + ultimate compound + a foam pad attachment from O'reilly's ($8.00) and got em out.

It may take you awhile to get them out but most detail shops are not going to do anything but glaze them to death and cover them up. Have you seen my videos on how to remove them? You would probably end up doing a better job if you committed yourself to the job. You would also learn what not to do so that you don't keep recreating the damage. Fixing that damage should be a one time event in your paint's life and once it is fixed, you shouldn't have to do it again if you maintain the paint correctly.

Don't know of any good detail shops in Dallas cuz I do my own claying/polishing/waxing myself. By hand. I should probably purchase an orbital buffer cuz its certainly tiring without one...

if you find a good one though, do share. One of these days I may use one if I'm feeling lazy.
