| Need recommandation for good auto detailing shops!!!
Hi guys!! can anyone recommend me a good auto detailing shop!? I want to get rid of some orange pile paints on my car. the orange pile paints on my car are driving me nuts, is not very visible, but i can see it from a certain angle and it is very annoying. i did a little searching online, seems the best solution to get rid of the orange pile paints is by wet sanding. so i need you guys to help me find a good detailing shop. PS. cause i got my car repainted at AK autoworks a year ago, does anyone know their warranty? will they fix it for me for free? Thanks

If it is an ICBC claim, I believe you have 3 years... otherwise you will have to check out the fine prints on the invoice if you were dealing privately with the bodyshop

also, as far as I understand it, orange peel has to be taken care of by wet sanding before clear coat goes on. Polishing the clear will only do so much. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I'm not sure if Ken @ Autowerkes is willing to do it, I sure as hell don't want to. But give Ken a message, only way to get rid of orange peel is a full wet-sand and then followed by a polish.

Morgan at Takeda Racing can take care of it, I had a pretty bad orange peel problem when I repainted the car. He wet sanded and polished it out, now most of it was gone. I can definately vouch for him.
