I need a detailer.
I need a detailer. I need interior, exterior, and engine bay done on a silver f-body. Will not need wheels and tires done as they are getting replaced in the next week. Who can get out some swirls and make it shine? 
I need a quote!
I need a quote! From what I've seen he does excellent work.
My spoiler should be back from paint on Monday. I think I'll finally have to follow through with Brian and get him to do my car. I've been holding off thinking I was going to sell my car but looks like I've settled on keeping it.

Waiting for the pics he took. I'll post them up. The car looks COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. It had been baking in the AZ sun for some time and now the paint looks much better. He said it didn't turn out like he wanted due to the paint being just that bad. I'm going to have him take the car and do what he needs to get it into the acceptable area that he likes to see. I think it looks amazing now. I can only imagine what he is going to do to it the next time around. Thanks Brian!
I'm hoping to get this done while we're in this time of no rain.
Thanks, Aaron!
First off your wife is so sweet and super awesome for knowing what she does about cars! Def a keeper
As I explained to your wife, I didn't like the way the car finished down. It looks tons better than before but the paint just didn't cooperate the way I had thought it would. That AZ sun has definitely taken its toll on it.
So in turn, I went ahead and wet sanded the head lights just because I didn't want the car to look better and those not even thought you hadn't asked me to. That was the first thing your wife noticed and how it saved you from having to buy new ones! (woo hoo!) The B pillar was in rough shape and it corrected down pretty nicely for the most part. It has a few random deep scratches but you can definitely see the difference. (pics coming soon)
Sorry it took so long for a reply, between getting a couple of cars taken care of and the AC at my house taking a dump, it's been a busy few days! I'll get some pics uploaded HOPEFULLY tomorrow when I have a moment to get everything squared away. Thanks again sir!

She has been learning over the last 10 f-bodies that I've owned. lol She better have picked something up over our 10 years together too. haha! Wow... I've averaged an f-body a year. lol
Ya, the paint was pretty rough and I know it needs some work. She mentioned that you said it would be a two day job to get it to where you'd be happy with it. Let me know if you have time or think that the paint is really done and should be reshot.
The headlights look great too. Car looks WAY better than it did. I'm not disappointed at all. I think people will see the before and after pics and know you did everything you could to correct it.
It's all good man! Thanks for your hard work. All is well in my world. I've got my wheels on the way now too. It should look completely different than when I had it delivered. Just got to get the car over to Jason at TDP to get the transmission looked at. It should be right as rain then!

Both trim pieces are either side were dull and heavily oxidized:
A shot with the sun gun:
Scratches on the B-Pillar (this picture is upside down for some reason):
Before:
After:
These were taken before any dressing was applied:
Few deep straight scratches remain:
Same for the deep scratches on the B-Pillar:
99% gone on top:
Need new headlights? I don't think so
The silver was difficult to capture before and afters. The best comparison would be in person of course but you can get the idea. It was pretty heavily swirled in some places like the hood, spoiler, and driver side rear quarter.
Thanks again!
Car looks GREAT! I can't wait to get home and finish the mods. New wheels will be on it as well as the Strano springs going back on the front. The paint will be the least of my worries now. Thanks for the hard work man. If you think you can get it better with more time or another shot at it, please let me know and we can schedule another wash/wax right before I get home. I'd love to come back from this tour with a hot *** ride. lol
