No not really.. I was actually wanting to buy my own setup and do all the detail work myself before crusing the coast. The only one i know about is Get Your shine on. But io dont know if i would trust them with driving a stick car.

I see, I really don't want any shop driving my car. Lol

I was looking into buying a machine and all that as well but just thought I would check first.

Check out junkman2000 on YouTube. He has a really good 3 series on polishing a car. The only thing different is I am gonna buy the harbor freight polisher to save some money.
