Default Wheres a good place to go for an exterior VIP treatment?

I got those annoying spiderweb scratches on the car from wiping the elements off and not rinsing them off, lol

Where is there a shop in the west valley that will buff the clear and get rid of them, as I am lacking the skill & buffer to do the job?

Thanks in advance guys

I got a 3 stage polish/wax kit that is great, but I can't get the full effect of it without a nice buffer.

I am hesitant to go buy one because I don't want to mess anything up, lol

Thats why I basically want a shop to buff it for me. When I worked for toyota a vehicle was damaged on the lot, and when I picked it up (it was a black xb) it was amazing how beautiful the paint was, not one hairline scratch in the clear. It was one huge car shaped mirror.

But that place was way too far for me to drive to, lol

word of advice, dont go to a regular car wash. go to a detailer, good work isnt cheap and cheap work isnt good. paint isnt something u want to take that risk on.

I always wash my car by hand, i've only taken it to dannys once and I had them hand wash it and got the full service with the buff and what not and I wasn't impressed so I never did that again.

Been hand washing ever since, it's just still got the real tiny scratches in the clear and bug me in the sun

Oh no, LOL by "that number" I meant the number you gave me.

I was just saying I had no idea how to go about finding a place, so I came on here, got the info I needed then the next day one just pops in front of me at a fast food joint. Kind of funny

Going to call dealers choice perhaps later today or tomorrow, thanks again for the info Justin

Never got a chance to call and talk to him about it, got caught up with some other bs.

I might call them tomorrow depending on what time I get off work.. got myself a cf hood so no more ugly swirls on the hood in the sun, which was my main concern.

Yea I know and also someone told me to go to the guys at hyundai, LOL. I didn't think brian still worked there.

Still haven't gotten around to calling either. I spent a few hours clay/paintcleaner/polish/waxing the car friday afternoon and it looks pretty good now, so i'll probably hold off.
