I’ve been wanting to get my car looking good again for a while, Dragon mentioned that there is a good detailing guy in town, so on my way back from work I stopped in and talked to him for a bit. I got semi-bad vibes off him though, he was on his way out somewhere, with a batch of kids, and didn’t seem hugely interested in helping me out or selling me on his service. He did point out an ugly paint chip with rust in it on my hood though, so now that is occupying my mind.
I did some quick research online for reference and found some good information.
- A thread on TDIClub.
- An article on carcareonline.
- Potentially good info at Autopia, and if logged in (I hate sites that require you to register to view things) this thread.
- Search results from google groups.
- Several people seem to think that Langka is the way to go as well.
I think I’ll stop by some random auto finishing shop on the way home and see if they can give me any good info or suggestions as well, or a cheap-ass price to do it for me, as I’m not sure I feel comfortable sanding down my hood.
