Call R and R supershine. They are in Pearland but are very good, plus they have some awesome rides to look at.

PM's have been exchanged. If I had time to do details during the week, I'd be happy to help.

Kodiak, per our discussion, if you want me to work on it some weekend, let me know.

And, thanks for the recommendations guys.

I use Menzerna polishes and Zaino sealants. For the exterior, a full-service detail includes wash, clay, polish, seal, tire shine (Meguiar's Hot Shine), windows (Stoner Invisible Glass). Interior gets a vaccuum and wipe down with Meguiar's Natural Shine. I don't have leather in my car, so if you have a personal preference on what leather conditioner you want to use, let me know.

For a rough idea of the results, see: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/358966-full-menzerna-pics-56k-begone.html

FYI, I'm not a pro detailer. It's just a hobby.
