I've been keeping an eye on this thread as well. I don't have any immediate need, but I am curious about any detailers in town that work to Autopian standards.

Covinsky I'm a relative novice, but I do have a PC and know well enough how to clay if you want some advice starting with that much. I live in Kirkwood.

looking for professional paint detailer in st louis mo area

Guys;

Like you, I'm looking. Live In South City, and I've a few small businesses on South Grand I've been watching, but don't like their results. Anyone ready to start their own detail business ?

Cliff

Re: looking for professional paint detailer in st louis mo area

My car and tools will be out here in early january. I ran my own detail buisness for the past two years while at home however i dont know if i will have time to do the same while at school here (wash U). At the very least, we can set up a detail day sometime in the spring, and if my workload at school isnt to bad, i may be able to do a few details here and there.....I'll keep you updated

A spring detail meet sounds like a great idea. PM me when it's gonna happen if I don't catch it in this thread.

Re: looking for professional paint detailer in st louis mo area

Hey, guys, I'm in the STL area and do some occasional detailing. I mainly use a Flex 3401 and recently started using a Flex 3403 rotary. I mainly detail for friends, family, and select referrals. I'm working on a black Infiniti G35 right now. It was pretty screwed up. Here's a couple of 50/50 shots:

Hood 50/50 Swirls

Whole Hood 50/50

Hood Finished

On the above, I used the rotary with an orange pad, Menzerna SIP twice, followed by Menz PowerFinish 203 with a white pad using the Flex 3401. There are still some stains on the car from what I think is an egg that was thrown at it. After some research, there's only so much you can do with egg stains after they sit/bake in. You can see the buffer trails, scratches, & swirls in the whole hood 50/50 above.

Anyway, I'm always more than happy to help out where I can. I live in the SoCo area. If anyone needs anything done to their car, PM me and maybe we can set something up. Thing for me is I have 2 small kids and a regular full-time job. This is more of a hobby/side thing for me. I take it very serious, but my time is limited. See you all around.
