Need help from A+ Autopian near Van Nuys, CA 91411
Hello.
I bought a pre-owned Nissan 2005 350Z white, 30k miles. As an autopia noob, I want to get my hands on detailing so I can do basic maintainance in the future, but I need help from an Autopia expert to work on my car the first time. I'll help you wash, buff, wax my car for the whole process and that may save your energy and hours. If you're within 15-30 mins drive from Van Nuys, CA 91411, I can drive to you or you can drive to me, I prefer to do this on weekend because I work until 5pm MON-FRI.

Here are what I want to do
1. Erase painted pinstripe (black lines on hood, and side of car). I plan to do this myself using Easy-Off Oven Cleaner and Q-tips. Instruction from
Is it safe?
2. Retouch couple paint chips and garage door scratches at rear bumper (retouched by previous owner and color doesn't match) I can get OEM paint pen from courtesyparts.com/350z/paint.html
3. Wash, Clay, swirl remove/polish, synthetic Wax (2-3 cured layer ) may be another natural wax. Also I need your recommendation on which products to use that will bring out the most of white color, and long lasting durability.
4. Interior is pretty clean. Need to wash both seats and light wipe/vacuum.
Please be A+ Autopian and let me know your price, time schedule, location, product to use, contact info (email, phone), and if you can fix #2. Please reply to this tread, PM or email me at slowpork at hotmail dot com

Re: Need help from A+ Autopian near Van Nuys, CA 91411
you're talking a lot of work something that can be easily taught to someone within a couple hours...expect to pay a pretty penny to someone to hold your hand (so to speak) through all this...

hi. It won't be that bad. I didn't expect to learn years of experiences in couple hours. I just wanna see how pro wash/wax car, so I won't make swirl when I wash my car. Just basic car washing.
