what kind of detailing?? there is a spot called auto image on chinquapin round road or however you spell it between west st and forest drive in annapolis. i have taken my old gs400 there a couple times. they do a lot of different detailing things but i don't think, no wait yes they do i'm just being goofy. yeah they are the shiznit for whatever i needed done. really cool dude runs the place, i think you to would really get along. i had old rims re-polished up (lips), they did a great job, i had my engine bay dressed before selling it as well and it looked show worthy for about 30$, can't beat that. i do my own interior but for exterior car as well this shop is good. i've seen a maserati, porsche, ranges, and some older looking classics in there at any random time plus i drive by it like 5 times a week and they seem to have a lot of repeat customers.

i've stopped in 2 other times to ask for advice which they were more than helpful in offering so i could do my own detailings and their tips worked out. i was gonna get them to clay bar my new ls but they charged a little to much (for the clay bar service) and just recommended i go buy the stuff at the auto store a block away for $20 and the main shop dude told me all about how to do it best so i guess i saved like 200$ but it took me about 3 hours.


Auto Image
300 Chinquapin Round Rd
Annapolis, MD 21401-4007

thanks man. i will definitely give them a call. i know the whole process from claying to finish (i used to sell reconditioning products to shops - but that was a long time ago. lol) but i am not familiar with the new glazes and what not. i would rather have someone do it correctly and re-learn the process. once a good base has been established, i will do it myself. thanks for the reccomendation. i'm doing my HID conversion this weekend - i'll let you know when i post the pics.
