So I'm really sick of how my paint looks. It's really the only thing I don't like about my contour. And I think it will help the resale value if it were brought up a couple of notches. I'm not sure if I'd be willing to take it on myself, I don't have a garage to work in.
I'm looking for a place to wet sand, buff and wax the whole car. I'll try and take some pictures of what wrong with the paint.
Anyone know a good body/paint shop that would do it? I wouldn't have a clue about costs involved. I'd be willing to travel a bit too.
Thanks again in advance guys!

I know places like Fine Details do that thing. I know a guy who had his car done by them and was happy with it.
You sure if really needs that kind of work though. Have you ever really detailed the car? Meaning strip all the wax off, clay bar and using a really good scratch and swirl remover? Just wonder it would certainly save money. But if it is too far gone then that stuff wont help.
Good Luck

I clayed it and waxed it when I got it. I gave up after that because it wasn't worth my time. It looks like small knicks out of the clearco coat all over. It really sucks. I'm not really sure what it would need.
I see there is a Fine Details in London, I might bring it by and see what they say.
