Theres a bunch of places to get it but youll be spending close to 600 for a good set up as u will need to buy both a rotary and orbital polisher not to mention its very easy to ruin your paint if you dont know what your doing so i wouldnt suggest trying it yourself

I'm in robbinsville New Jersey close to the hamilton/ east windsor area if you e mail me some close up pics in direct sunlight i could give u a pretty accurate quote through e mail or over the phone, and if your interested we can set up an appointment.

Or if your close by and its easier you can swing by one afternoon and ill go over the car with you

I just did a coat of Rich's top secret Camero wax in preparation for the Hooters cruise night Thursday. I just can't operate a digital camera no matter how easy it is. This is such a lousy picture but it was getting dark.

Not to toot my own horn but it looks great jeff.... how did you like that wax? does it beat the otc stuff?

Seems a little easier to work with. I have to do a good cleaning an waxing on the 2000 SS so that should be a good comparison.

So I took the car over to the Hooters Cruise Night tonight and most of the reaction from people was "wow" and then I told them the paint job was at least 15 years old. Several people I know who saw the car last year looked at it and asked what I did to it because it looked a lot better. I think that says a lot right there. I know it isn't a perfect paint job or a great sunny day car but it's definitely a lot better finish than it was.

Well as I said before I'm not sure if the guy sanded the bare metal with to coarse of a paper or blocked the primer with to coarse of a paper but i wish he woulda did it right because now your clear coat is probably 98% perfect.
