Looking for a detailer recommendation in Bellevue / Kirkland / Redmond area to do my wife's Audi Q7. Doesn't need a ton of paint correction, there are only a few light scratches around the tailgate area and door handles but the rest is 'mona lisa'.
The big thing is that it's never been clayed ... I had meant to get it done last summer but got laid off and couldn't justify it in the wife's budget. (she still thinks Barrier's car wash is just fine) Which means the place needs to be somewhat reasonably priced; I doubt I can explain to the wife why we need to spend $500 for a detail when she'll just reply that it's going to get dirty again in 2 days when it rains.
Also, the rear bumper was replaced and repainted as part of a collision repair and I'm noticing that it's showing a lot of swirls that the normal paint doesn't ... I'm assuming it's because the clear isn't as good as factory? Or is there something particular I need to ask the detailer about for this ... a special term (like paint correction) perhaps?
Thanks a ton!
