Do any of you have any recommendations of a very, very good auto detail shop in Tampa?

Thanks

So you never drive in rain? Are you saying that you never got caught in a Florida rain storm as well??? Wow.... How do you do it? It's almost impossible to avoid the Florida rain at some point if you drive your car and living in FLorida with all of this beautiful weather, why would you NOT drive it.

Good luck with your Water Spots...

I travel quite a bit so I don't drive me Vette a lot. Plus if its raining I'll take out my other car.

I ended up buying Mothers clay bar system and after two coats the paint is like new!!! Its smooth as a babies bottom and all the spots etc are gone!!! Thanks for all of the help guys.

Amazing what claybars will do, isn't it? It sounds so weird, rubbing clay on your car. I had to get up the gumption to do it the first time. Wow, what results!

Glad that worked out for you.

Default Pitty party fo Ray.

My car Shines and looks great, but I've got some water spots etc that I can't seem to get rid of either. Now, I use the Zaino products, and Im sure it's me not them.

Although I followed the directions, using dawn, clay bar, washing w/zaino etc... I still have spots .
I figure I just didn't use the clay bar the "right" way.

No biggie, i'll just start over from scratch. Besides, i've got to remove some crudd that's on the paint (specks of dirt I guess).

It took two times with the clay bar and two waxes before it worked. The first time got rid of the majority but the second time made the paint look flawless!!!
