Just had my 8 pro detailed, check it out

I just had my 04 rx8 detailed today, it was actually yesterday and today but anyways. He really did a terrific job, he washes to strip wax, clays the whole car, does a 3 stage polish with the high speed buffer (Removes all swirls and imperfections), waxes and washes again.. Overall the results speak for themselfs.

He is located around the Tampa, FL area incase anyone else is interested in his work, I would HIGHLY recomend it

nice work. I would try doing it myself, but I always worry about screwing up the paint or taking off too much clearcoat.

^with silver it's a bit more forgiving, can't notice most imperfections on light colors...black is a different story

I would say most people don't know how to wash cars....or drive for that matter...just about every car I get at work are low mileage cars that people trash. Guess that's why I have a job tho.

Thanks everyone. I was EXTREAMILY happy with the job he did

mysql. if your friend wants his contact info it can either be found on that link I posted or just pm me and ill get it for you.

Im not going to post a price i paid because I got a little bit of a deal since were getting several cars done by him. I think he typically charges somewhere in the neighborehood of 350-400 for this job. He also offers a 1 stage where he gets it looking better, just not quite this good and its quite a bit cheaper (still does the wash, clay, 1 stage polish and wax)

The rims are actually just stock rims painted black. While they were out, I paited the rotor hubs and calipers the same color as the rim to keep it all a nice semi-gloss sort of black.. Took a while but I think the rims turned out pretty decent.
