detailers

markymarc1979 · 09-14-2009, 07:46 PM

Can anyone recommend a good detailer in the Mississauga. I've got some serious crap on my M3 that just won't wash out. I think it's either sap or bird crap. Thanks in advance.

Haven't really promoted this as I have been super busy with the retail side of things, but here ya go

PM me if interested. Wouldn't mind getting close and personal with an M3

Mike thanks for the quick response. Not really looking for a full detail as the car is still in prestine shape. I just need someone that can get those spots out safely. There is a small one on the hood and a large one on the roof. Any service for that?

I havent heard from him in a while. Does he still participate in this forum?

I sure do!

I watched your 335i->M3cab trade up from the sidelines. Is it the pine sap from those trees near your driveway? If so, if it hasn't been there long try a hot microfiber on it (soak in very hot water, no quite boiling hot, but hot), place it on the sap and it might just dissolve it. That usually only works if it's newer than ~7 days or so. After that you need some chemicals to dissolve the sap.

Kev, it's been a long time. I hope your doing well. It's been there a long time, I've put off cleaning it up, but no more. Remember that wax you gave me in that little plastic container? I covered the spots in it and it didn't work. The spot on the roof is very large and doesn't look like sap.

picus · 09-14-2009, 11:18 PM

Hrm, very weird. Do you want me to swing by some time in the next week or so to have a look? Alternatively you could shoot me over a picture. Let me know!

Evolution_GT · 09-15-2009, 10:20 AM

Have you tried applying vinegar or Aerospace 303? or attempt to buff it out with caranauba wax?

peanuboy · 09-15-2009, 11:10 AM

what about rubbing compound? or even QD+clay?

sweetc6 · 09-15-2009, 03:32 PM

If your ever out near Elora, I would be glad to fix that for a fellow member. Gary

I'll be in your hood Friday afternoon. Shoot me a PM and let me know if that works for you. I need to get your address again too!
