Detailing Shops or anyone out there.

Hi im lookiing to get my car wetsanded and buffed without spending a fortune. Its got some orange peel problems that id like to take care of before the big show at OC.

So any suggestions any past experiances with any places in the Northern Virginia area? Anybody feeling helpful? **** ill do the work if someone has a buffer and shows me what to do.

And whats an average price on a wetsand and buff at most detailing shops? Dont want perfect...just a lot better.

My b/f has a shop in Damascus, Maryland if that's no too far. He has customers that come to him from all over -- even Virginia and Delaware (he's that good). I don't know if he could fit you in, but it might be worth a try. I'll PM you his number if you're interested.

It's Sam's Auto Body, Lewis Drive in Damascus Maryland. Straight shot from 4-95 to 2-70 towards Frederick, MD, then get off at Father Hurley Blvd. (aka Route 27). Take that all the way to Damascus, make a right onto Lewis Drive, then another right onto his shop's parking lot.

Don't even ask me about cost -- he'd probably quote over the telephone, but I don't know what he charges.
