Getting a full paint correction/detail
I'm dropping my car off Sunday night for a full paint correction and detail. They are also going to de-badge the rear emblems, remove the sunroof visor and buff the headlights and tail lights. I've asked for as many pictures as he can possibly stand to take haha. Is there anything I should request, ask or make aware before dropping it off? I can build a motor to spec from the pan up but anything more than a driveway hand wash is over my head for detailing lol. I'll definitely post a ton of the before and after pictures in the right place afterwards.
Thanks in advance guys!

All OEM paint is extremely thin... hence the reason I mentioned using a trusted professional.
Anyone who specializes in paint correction should know the golden rule: Always use the least aggressive method.
Preserving clear coat thickness is an important part of making sure your car looks good for a very long time.

I'm taking it to a buddy Mason Polaski at Cambridge Motorsports in Springfield MO. His FB page shows a newly detailed car all the time and wow, some of those before and after pictures look like they were straight out of a junk yard only to appear in showroom quality after. He's pretty much the go-to guy for detailing in Springfield.
Here's his most recent:

If your buddy does good work, then sounds like a good plan for you.
I also have a friend in Springfield who is known throughout the nation as being an elite detailer who specializes specifically in paint correction and nano coating work. His name is Jeremy and he is the owner of Status Auto Detailing. If you need another option, check him out.

I sent him a quote request so depending on how fast he gets back to me and his rates on the similar job, I may go this route instead. From some local hot rod guys, they've said they need the car for several days and its upwards and over $1k.. I fully understand and respect the amount of hours of very hard and tedious labor it takes to do this sort of thing but for a cheaper daily driver car I just cant justify that. Can only polish a turd so much

He replied VERY quickly with an in depth review of what the job would entail and his quote. As we agree he is probably the best around for major detail jobs and will absolutely use him later down the road after I get the bumper and sides replaced and painted. His rate was just about what I expected, very fair for the amount of work being done. Thanks for the tip!

Any recommendations in Northern NJ Detailed Image? I figured it might be a long shot but worth asking. Also keep in mind I have a fully satin black vinyl wrapped exterior as well as a 3m brushed black aluminum interior. Thank you so much.
**EDIT**
JUST realized you're in Albany NY lol still about 3 hrs away though.

Glad you were able to touch base with Jeremy... great guy, and stellar detailer. Elite detailing is another league compared to traditional detailing. Glad you can see the hard work and pride that goes into the work guys like Jeremy do.
