Who Wants to Wetsand/Buff my Car? (Irvine, CA)

OCKlasse · 12-12-06, 01:07

Hey guys,

I will be getting some Brabus/AMG bodywork on my Mercedes C Class within the next few months, and would be interested in having my car wetsanded/buffed after to remove all the orange peel from the bumpers (and the rest of the car for that matter). Anyone in OC that would be up to the job? If so, pm me, so if the time comes, I will have someone to go to. Thanks

Have you considered Bruce Strauss in Costa Mesa, off Red Hill?
He works on Mercedes, but I had him paint the hood of my 1984 Audi Quattro. 1 year later when the paint started to fail, they repainted it at no charge, sanding it correctly the 2nd time.
They really do quality work. My brother-in-law used to run their upholstery shop.

Wouldn't these two be a contradiction?

Contact the Octane Guy over at showcargarage.com I believe he is in Southern CA and travels to the customer. You can see his work on the site.

That would have been my recommandation too except thread starter is in Irvine so I suggested Mike Phillips as #1 choice. But both of them are from what I hear and see incredible.

No, he is not, but he does work in Irvine area when he is physically at work place so I figured there is some proximity there.

Thanks for the referral guys. Yeah either Mike or myself could do the work. Mike actually lives in Apple Valley which is near Hesperia, but he comes to Irvine once or twice a week. I've got customers in Irvine as well--going to see one this coming Monday, I was in Irvine twice last week for different customers, but I think for this wetsanding job, Mike has more experience than I do, so if I had my druthers, I'd recommend Mike as well. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the help! Approximately about how much would it cost?

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that Mike is going to send you back to the guy that painted the car. He's likely to have the philosophy that if he didn't paint it, he wont sand it either.

Well I wouldn't be so sure of that. We're talking about fresh paint here since it's about to be repainted, not months old paint.
