Hi.
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 show me and 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. I`m looking for a pro 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
http://cleangsx2004.tripod.com/pinstripe.htm 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
Thanks!
