Default Looking for good detailer/buffer in phoenix area!!

So I just spent lots of time and a descent chunk of money getting my car painted snakeskin green. Afterwards a friend of a friend did the wet sanding and buffing.......and I hate the job that was done. I can see scratches and swirls everywhere. Especially on the hood. also lots of patches of dull orange peel looking spots that the guy has come back 3 times now to touch up, and I keep finding different patches. It looked pretty damn good before he got ahold of it, but there were some runs and crap in the paint otherwise I woulda left it alone.

He only charged me 100 and no I dont wanna go back to him and bitch.

looking for someone to correct this NEW paint job back to perfect!!

I live in fountain hills so the scottsdale, mesa, tempe area would be best.

thanks guys, this is seriously irritating me

I cant get much to show up in pics because of it being such a bright pearl color. Also all I have is my phone camera. most people dont see anyhting wrong but I definitely see all the scratches.

Maybe he hit it up with just one grit of sand paper and didn't re hit it with a finer one...or he didn't go over it oh so well with the rubbing compound...

Its got some black, I didnt do any black on the hood because the pearl just looks so amazing on all the curves up front. I had thought about buying a pc and trying to buff it myself, just afraid to mess it up more honestly.

lol yea I sure did, think it looks great. planned on doing the hood untilI seen it all done in green! Ive got some black wheels going on in a few days
The wheels should set it off better.

I think I may give it a shot myself if I cant find anyone I would trust too do it.

The wheels are ronal 2 piece wheels.18x9.5 and 19x10 I took them apart and did the perimeter bolts in green too. There's pics of them in my build thread.

Car looks good, saw it at Peter Piper on Ray road this past saturday. Are you on Autogeek? You know swirls can be removed but the deeper scratches stand out like a sore thumb after removing the swirls. If you drive this car and isnt a trailer queen i would get use to the deeper scratches, cause this desert weather will destroy the perfect mirror finish. Got any detail pictures?
