Title: Need expert Car Polishing Dallas Texas
Post by: n/a on August 22, 2003, 12:21:18
Anyone who knows of a good person to do expert Car Polishing for my 1969 280 SL in Dallas please let me know.

I had an appointment with a local "expert" who stood me up and wont return my phone calls(guess business is just too good).

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Phil

Phil,
Have you thought of doing it yourself?  I was suprised what I could do as a complete novice with my 230SL (no clear coat).  I just had these basic tools:

Me (no power buffer)
100% cotton terry cloths
Meguiers(?) wash, cleaner, polisher, and wax (all liquids)
Time (6 hours)

Griot's Garage makes excellent kits for 1st timers or pros. You can't mess it up with their help.

Phil -

This may not be quite what you are looking for, but there is a great detail shop (for which I cannot remeber the name) that I have used several times with various cars.  They are located on Hillcrest just about a block north of Northwest Highway, on the west side of the street.  It is an old gas station-type place, not much to look at.

I have not taken my 113 there (I do that myself), but I can say they do a good job on other cars.
