Default Waxing/blocking in Houston
I have had some body panels recently repainted and I'm afraid it's going to look funny as the rest of the cars paint is less than perfect. Does anyone know a really good wax/block guy that can bring some life back to the rest of the paint?

Anybody else have any experience with a really good detailer? I need someone who can work magic on old paint not just work a buffer.

30 min lol!

I got a quote from one of the better detailers in Houston. He said he would come out to me and it would likely take 6+ hrs for a stage 1 paint restoration service (which mine needs) it's fucked. I'm not sure how to feel about that..
