talented detailer in houston area?

I'd like to find a detailer in the houston area that I can actually communicate with and get my truck taken care of according to my wishes rather than the detailers wishes. Any suggestions on how to locate one?

I am in Arlington, about 250 miles from Houston.

gandhibrokemyskates from offtopic.com is in Houston. I can PM him this link (I think he posts here too).

Ken, Detailing is very Zen-like. Learn to do it yourself and enjoy the experience. I am new to this level of automobile care and caressing myself and after just a couple of months "practice" (and the right products) was able to get a "AWESOME SHINE" out of Ken Wilson, who is the club's totally anal detailer.
From a fellow HALO member, Gonzo

I've got some zaino and I've heard a number of halo folks talking about wax over zaino. I am hard pressed to find the time, though.

I had zaino on my last truck and the look was amazing after doing all the steps required... I tried a claybar and cherry wet wax on the new truck and it just isn't as good... I'm thinking of trying p21s (right name?) over zaino, but I don't want to have to do it over and over again. To be honest, just the zaino on the old truck lasted easily 6 months and I couldn't tell a diference from the first day I did it...

Halo needs to have a "detail day"... get together a bunch of guys and line up the claybars, wax, rubber cleaners, engine cleaners, good washes, etc. etc., and get a bunch of trucks done to a super shine...

Doesn't apply when you are giving a heads up to a fellow detailer. Besides, my moderator superpowers give me immunity from rule #1.

Cujo31-Anthony is in San Antonio. Houston is a pretty long drive from there.

Noze, If you are going to quote someone, quote ALL of what was written! It was your mis-quote that renders this thread NC17.
