Detail in Omaha, NE?

Switt23 · 05-19-08, 07:00

I am new to the forums, but not new to cars. I am the proud owner of a 2006 Chevy Cobalt LT coupe, black in color. I usually keep the car extremely clean however sometime with weather the way it is in Nebraska, it's hard to keep up.

I live in an apartment and can not wash the car in the parking lot, so any cleaning work has to be done at a dollar pump wash. Due to this, the last time the car was in for warrenty work I let them detail the car, dumb mistake. I got the car back and wanted to cry, it has swirls across the hood that I can't buff out. They scratched the clear coat in several places and let tons of extra polish/wax on the car.

This is the car I drive. It's been lowered and I have completed an HID retrofit for the headlights, but all these modifcations don't mean anything to me when the paint looks horrible.

So is there anyone in Omaha that has expierence with black cars that has like a porter cable or buffer that could take care of the swirls and scratches? I'm afraid to take my car to like the Dolphins car wash only to waste my money on something I could do at the pump.

I live in western omaha, around the 156th and Harrison are. I would really like to get the car looking new again as it's only 2 years old. Can anybody help?

I can probably help out (I live at 96th and Q), but it may be a few weeks before I have some free time. Check your private messages; I sent you my cell number.

I’m in the midst of moving but should be all settled in mid-June around 25th and Cornhusker. See what Tort’s schedule looks like, otherwise I would be more than happy to help you out as well. Let me know what I can do.
