I would beg to differ with the poster that said Ryan Cates is really good. I brought my 1992 low milege corvette in for a detail. When I got it back he had buffed the paint right off the quarter panel to the point of needing to be repainted. He obviously doesnt know how to use a buffer. I would definitly NOT advise anyone who loves his car to use him.

Another recommendation is Nick at AutObsessions (www.autobsessions.net). He is mobile and does an awesome detailing job.

Call Glen Halfhide, owner of Clear Choice Detailing. All he does is clear bra installs, and he is 3M certified. He is mobile, or you can go to his shop in Bala Cynwood, PA. He is an excellent clear bra installer.

I have to say i had clear choice detailing do my e46 M3 clear bra (ok job)
and then my e93 M3... completely F'ed it up... it looked like $HIT... i think i could have done it better myself... and i know F'all about doing it...
it look so bad and i was so pissed i just and it removed and had another guy do it... coz i didn't want them touching my car again...
both times, it was done when it was at a shop... so i am not sure if Glen came out himself or sent anyone (i have never met the guy)... regardless....it had their name on it...
this is of course just my experience.... he could have been just having a bad day...some folks may have had good results too..... but "it is what it is" and i would never go back....and feel it my job as a member to share that with everyone.... sorry glen

Hey guys - I just thought I'd update this thread with a rec based on my experience:

Just picked up my car from Autobsessions (owned by Nick Mercado). I had the three-stage correction process done and it looks great! I also went for the Opticoat, which I'll report back on the general forums later.
