Default Need a good detailer

Anyone know of someone who is good at detailing? I need my car wet sanded and buffed.. well at least some parts of it.
I have a nasty mark on the targa top where the paint is oxidised.. A guy at work seems to think wet sanding and buffing it with a good compound should get rid of it.. Hell i'm willing to try!
But i'm not about to do it myself. Granted I did it on the mustang..but.. It was the mustang...Plus I no longer have that kick ass commidor crap I did last time..and my buffer sucks...

So ya.. can anyone recommend someone to me??

I could be wrong, but I dont know of any detailers that will wet sand. You prob have to find someone who paints/does body work. But I could be wrong.

Yeah I think Matt is right. Wet Sanding is more of the "bodywork" category.

Wet sanding can do a great job on paint, but it can also make your paint look like its 10 years older. I don't trust people wet sanding my stuff, scary thought.

I have never seen this work/last. It's just going to do it again. I'd just drop a few extra dollars and have it repainted if it's that bad.

Just an opinion

I know of a guy that will do it. Not sure how much he will charge, but he is the best in town.
