Default Mobile detailing in Orlando?

I tried every possible search string, and I know there's a thread here somewhere.

Need someone to come out to the house and detail the Goat. It's in dire need of claybar and some new wax. The wheel lips need polished, and I just don't have the time to invest.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks,
-Ronnie

LMAO. I need a pro, methinks. I remember someone off here that was highly recommended, but I just can't find the thread.

I want the car looking awesome for a photoshoot coming up. There's swirls, nicks, and blemishes that need addressed, and I want to get the wheel lips really polished back into form. It'll take claybar and some mechanical-assisted elbow grease with a polisher.

If you're up for a project like that, lemme know. I just need the car looking absolutely pristine.

Thanks Matt. It's getting more and more sorted out as time goes on. I'm hoping to start making some meets, so ya don't need to wash it, LMAO.

I remember meeting Richie at Mike Norris' shop...had no idea he detailed, but I didn't speak with him for more than a couple seconds.

Mike, I do not have his #.

I'm out of circulation tomorrow, but I should be around all week.

I want you to look at that valvetrain noise before we do anything else to the motor/turbo. I haven't been running the car because of the things that happened to the other 2 sister motors from you know where.

New list:
  1. Install oil pressure gauge where the old analog boost was...easy/
  2. Install Harrop cover (on its way from Au.)
  3. Find out WTF noise is coming from my top end.
  4. Ditch this POS cam for a new grind like we talked about.
  5. Fix the methanol injection.

After we find out if it's benign or we have to pull the heads, I want to just try and up the boost a little bit to find the missing HP. I'm hearing the sweet spot on this turbo's around 13-14psi.

Gimme a call when you get a chance!


In the meantime, I'm trying to get the wheels powdercoated and the car all pretty.
