Not sure how far away Blue Ridge is from Atlanta. Justin from Clean4U does an excellent job. He's mobile, but I'm not sure how far he travels. Maybe you could work something out where he'd do a couple of cars in a day.

Here's his information:
Detail University's Find a Detailer: Georgia

Hope this helps.

Buy yourself a Porter Cable and do it yourself... I actually enjoy it.

In fact, since the dealer sucks at new car prep, I'm doing mine tomorrow.

You doing a full wash and wax? What about the water ban?

Where you at in the ATL Blackjack? I'm in East Cobb.

Decided not to do this weekend due to rain... Will probably be doing next weekend though. I'm in Canton (575 North).

No outdoor water use whatsoever. Last time I washed it I washed inside my garage with the garage door 99% closed and just let the water drain on the driveway. ... Hey, it was indoors.

Haha, nice. I thought about doing that, but the way our water/hoses are I would have to run one all the way around the front of the house into the garage. I think that would raise some eyebrows...

At this point, I'm willing to pay someone to take the time to wash it and put down a good coat of wax. I just dont have the time, materials, or water to do it right.

Let me know if you can recommend someone. (or if you want to make a few extra bucks, Blackjack)

My dad had a good idea for his G35... He goes to the car wash (one of the pull in and wash yourself bays and takes his own buckets, soap etc. He puts in his quarters to give the car a rinse and fills up his buckets. He then washes his car with microfibers mits, etc (a good hand wash) and then puts in more quarters to rinse off. Have to be quick though so that they soap doesn't dry too quickly. Works well for him.

I'm struggling with time as well... If I get the time one weekend soon, you're welcome to head over to Canton and we can do both. Between the two of us, we could knock both of them out in a day.
