Detailer in Tampa?
I never drive my car in the rain but I had to recently due to circumstances and it left spots on my car. You can only see them if you get really close and eye level and the right sun light but they are there and it bugs the crap out of me. I wash my car all the time and I have made some progress but I've come to the conclusion that I am just going to have someone fix it.
Do any of you have any recommendations of a very, very good auto detail shop in Tampa?
Thanks
Michael

Michael, I had a water spot problem on my black Z a few months back. I got some special spot remover from Adam Pitale who owns Adams Car Care Products. I still have some of the product if you would like to try it. I'm in Valrico, pm me if you like.

Have you tried claying it yourself? It's not hard.
Well, let me rephrase that. It's a lot of work, but it's not difficult.

No, I haven't. I'd just like to get someone to do it that knows what they are doing. I feel comfortable washing it and waxing it but want a real expert to get it to shine without messing up the clear coat.

Well I just got back from a car wash/detailer and they improved things but a lot of the spots are still there. Anyone know of a really great detailer that can make my paint look flawless? Or can do it themselves?
Thanks
Michael

I would get the Zaino kit, use dawn soap first and wash, then clay the car, and do the Zaino steps. I would think the claybar would get rid of the spots.

No, send me a E mail at CHASLX200@AOL.COM i will send you a link.
If were to do a complete wash, claybar and Zaino on a Vette i would charge
$100, it would take me about 8 full hours.
