Looking for Michigan Detailer (Ann Arbor)

[HoeyHimself]

I just bought a 2010 Volkswagen GTI. I love the car, it is just amazing. I always dreaded the thought of buying a brand new car right before winter, but it happened. I don`t know much about detailing, I want to, I get totally geeked out over reading and seeing the stellar work people perform on their cars. Especially bringing old and worn ones back to life, the diamonds in the rough that come out sparkling and renewed. I bow to those with the skill to detail so well, it is a thing of beauty.



What brings me here is that I am not one of the detail-inclined, and while I would love to, I just don`t have the ability, time, or materials to get this new car winter-ready. So is there any detailers near or around Washtenaw county that have the time to put my new GTI on the books for a clay bar/wax job? I mean, its literally only 2 weeks old..but its journey from Germany to the states two months ago, and the cold weather that has snow right around the corner..she needs to be taken care of. I trust what an experienced detailer suggests should be taken care of, but I am, from what I have researched, mostly looking for her exterior finish to be treated with a clay bar and whatever comes after that..polish and wax? I don`t know, you tell me.



So detailers @ or around Washtenaw county, let me know if you have the time for a new car job. If anyone can recommend a local shop, please let me know, I would appreciate it.



Thanks, all.

Not sure how far you want to travel, but I believe both of the guys are based a little east of you in Detroit.
