Default Buffing

Im looking for someone who can buff out my entire car to get rid of swirles and those little scratches. I im alittle afraid to do it myself incase i f-up the paint. I rather just pay alittle and let someone that knows what they are doing do it. Does anyone know anyone in north nj area that is good and i can trust my baby with?

Thanks
Paul

I don't know how close he actually is to you, but I would recommend Sean Busch. http://www.detailingbyexecutive.com/

But wouldnt a body shop be better suited to do this? I can detail that car myself. I just wanna remove any inperfections that can be removed without adding paint. I already compounded the rear bumper to see what it would do and it came out real nice. even got rid of the factory orange peel.

Part of detailing is removing surface imperfections...

I don't understand what you want, and I'm not sure you do either.

He is skilled with a rotary buffer which removes the small scratches, etc; no need for a body shop. He will compound and polish your car as necessary.

Get a porter cable 7424 and do it yourself. It takes a lot for you to burn threw your paint with that. I use an orange pad with medium such as 3M Perfect it II #05973. It comes in a 1quart bottle. Then finish with a black or yellow pad with something like Tropi-Care swirl cutter.
