Seattle Detail Shops?

Hey guys, I just picked up a Black Obsidian 04 G Coupe a few weeks back and have been loving it ever since but it seems that the previous owner left some swirl marks that won't come out Anyone know any good places for a detail job that will take those right out? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

hah, thanks for the reference. I'd be happy to detail your OB G-ride. Just got a new shipment of Zaino in. If you are not familiar with this stuff it's AWESOME. Search it on here or on autopia.org. Also, I have a PC7424 and compounds that will help remove those swirls.

Yea I've heard of that stuff! Yea it works great I used to use it on my other show car. Although it wasn't black so I didnt' have a such a bad swirl problem. Sure I'd love it if you'd be able to help me out. How much do you charge though for the detail job? Just picked up the ride and it made me real BROKE @** I'm pretty good on working on cars and stuff so I'd be more than happy to do it together. Just let me know, maybe we can just knock it out one weekend!!! Just PM me or let me know! Thanks!

I charge $150 for the full-step process (strip old wax, clay, wash, swirl removal, 2-3 layers of Z-5 or Z-2 depending on color, and then 3 coats of sealant with Klasse HGSG or Z-8 for darker cars). to G-Owners. My regular price is around $200. Anyways, if you are interested in getting this done, let me know. This goes for all you other guys too.

That doesn't seem too bad. I'll have to seriously consider this when the weather gets better. So you claybar the entire car? Which one do you use?

Sounds great Triple8. I think I have a few cars lined up once the weather gets nice, but I always bump fellow G drivers up on my list. I usually use the Perfect Shine claybars or Zaino's if I have it.

Alright, well it seems like people are getting pretty antsy about having clean rides for the Spring, myself included. If anyone is interested in getting their ride detailed drop me a line. The G-Driver $150 discount still stands.

I love your work on black cars. What do you charge for non-G cars? My previous IP coupe was easy to detail but my current black car is hard....too many swirl marks/scratches...

What kind of new car did you get? We can decide from there. Usually I charge $200 for Sedans due to being bigger and taking more time. Let me know.
