wow yall do remarkable work on cars. I always look forward to your posts. I am thinking of getting my car detailed(lives outside).

Two things:
1. Do you have anyone in the GA, SC, NC region that you can refer me to for a detail?(figured Id ask)
2. PM price packages of detail---> I am trying to get an idea of how much a thorough detail costs

Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work.

Expensive looking job!

Phil I noticed you're polishing the sunroof, what type of pads do you usually use for glass surfaces?
