Tampa G-kats..I need help!!

first of all, I travel all the time, and when i come back my whip is never in the condition i leave it. my nephew got ahold of it on one trip and well i dont think i need to finish my sentence......

but i was wondering, if there is a cat that likes to sit out and buff their car like all day and wants to show me the best way to do it, im all in. I need to buff this things badly and my elbow grease just isnt doing it. i can clay bar it all i want and cut it and still its not doing what i want it too. I had it perfect when i got here to florida, then i had to go to panama city for one day and ran into a hell of a rain storm and since then i havnt been able to keep the thing shiny! i have never taken an orbital to it and i dont know which kind to get, and the proper way to use it. so if someone would like to show me i would be mad grateful. im thinking maybe this saturday...if anyone is near the new tampa area...BBD area i have seen a couple of cats around tampa palms and cross creek not sure if they are here. thinking about going to miami tmrw morning to hang out in south beach, never been there, so im sure i will have dead lovebugs galore on my car!

can someone help.....let me know...

holla.

my nephew really jacked my joint up. its hard for me to even look at sometimes. but i need to really take the time to massage it, but as soon as i do, then i leave for a month and come back and its jacked up again. i dont have a garage and the last time i got a car cover, it made the underneath part seriously jacked....plus i have my speing to put on but dont know where i can find a shop that can get it on a lift to install them and get it off the lift with out scratching it all up. let alone aligning it afterwards

If you haven't ever worked at a body shop/done paint work/detailed cars for a living don't ever use an orbital buffer. Cars these days have very delicate clear coat that shouldn't be messed with by a novice. If you can't get it out with a clay bar and a bottle of zaino then leave it to a professional. I don't want your next thread to be, "Where's a good paint/body shop in Tampa" just because your burned through your clear.

U are correct. US 19 south if u coming from the Causeway. After u get your springs installed wait about 3 weeks for them to settle in then get the wheel alignment.
