I just had my front end repainted due to rock chips........



When they were done, all they did was compound everything.......My hood is so swirled it is unbelievable.......



They also did over spray on my driver door, and compounded that also........



I was thinking SIP w/ rotary would get it out, but after looking at it again, it might need Meguiars #105.....

Well there isnt much about me. I drive a 2003 subaru wrx with an exhaust ( i dont try to race people on the streets im not fast nor furious ).



Right now I've only really detailed my car, just trying to learn how to keep my car shinny. The car has got a few scrapes of it from the previous owner and minor dents and alot of swirls and small scratches, but other than that its in pretty good shape.



Im really just here to learn.



If anyone is going to detail their car anytime soon let me know. I learn better by watching someone do it first.

I'm in Youngstown, any one else in my area? I need a pro:bow



AAP I have used summit for tint, not that good but I did check your other posts to see if maybe you could be a reliable souce and you recommended someone else and said the other company did your families cars, so which is it the north shore or summit company that did your families cars for the clear bra? No offense I had a bad clear bra done a few years ago in Akron on the advice of someone on a forum and I wish I never wasted my money, not only was my paint cut but the film looked so bad in a year I had to take it off.:cry: Maybe I will get it again after I figure out how to get the freaking swirl marks out of my black paint.:geez
 
I just had my Audi tinted at Summit Sound...work was done quickly 2.5hrs but carefully, computer cut sheets made perfect matches to the windows...only complaint would be a lot of water stains on the rear seats and on the door panels that they did not clean up.



Also Twista just completed an exterior detail of my car and his work was phenomenal. If any of you are thinking about getting more experience with detailing work then he's the one to follow.
 
Thanks Shivan...Get ready for the pictures...they are amazing!! It was a pleasure working on your car...loved everything about it! Thanks again Sean!!

Actually is a little bit of both ...



North Shore did my Corvette, my dad's Truck, and my Acura's Clear Bra's

Summit Sound did my mom's Nissan, cousins BMW and VW Passat's Clear Bra's



Tint was done at the same time as each Clear Bra, for remote start, all except the Corvette was done at Summit.



Both are A+ places but always soo busy that I just go to the one that has the first appointment available on my schedule.



As far as clear bra, I have never had it done on Black, but I will say that on dark cars, the Venture Shield is much better, by dad's truck is dark grey. and the Venture looks decent after 2 years (with winters).



Overall I would say:



Northshore > Summit for Clear Bra

Northshore = Summit for Tint

Northshore < Summit for Electronics Install



Sorry for misrepresenting my position ... the work done at both shops is over the past 3 years ... most recently, my Corvette's Tint+Clear Bra in March 08 at Northshore.
 
what are the prices like on average for a ventureshield or clear bra installation on a typical front end setup (bumper, headlights, partial or full hood). Is Northshore and Summit similar in pricing?



Twista: Can't wait to see the pics!

It all depends on the car ... on my Acura it was $350, on the truck it was $425, on the Corvette it was $1500 (i got a whole lot more coverage than the other 2 cars).



Call both up and ask, talk to Roger at Summit or Marco at Northshore, they are the owners of each respectivly.



Northshore is a little more expensive, but they use VentureShield, where as Summit uses ClearShield (a much lesser known brand). But the price difference is usually under 5% ...



What you really want to do is find out who has worked on your car before, that is key, Summit get's more "run of the mill" cars vs. North Shore who is more high end, so if you have a Merc S Class, Northshore is your place cause they have probably done it beofre.
 
Anyone in the cleveland area know a good body shop guy. My friend tapped my rear bumper and it looks like the paint it cracked, and I need to know about how much it would be. If anyone suggest someone that might be able to look at it I would really appreciate that alot.



Thanks in advance

Highly recomended. I got my whole front end re-painted (buffed down to metal, and repainted with primer, paint, and clear coat for $600)
