Talking Does anyone CLAY in the MD/DC/VA area?

Im looking to clay my car for the first time to remove any nasty contaminants on the coat before the snow starts coming down. .wait let me rephrase. .
Im looking for someone TO clay my car since I have no idea what Im doing and I dont want to take the chance of messing it up.


So, does anyone know of a local MD detailer that will do this?
Anyone interested in making a few bucks by doing it and letting me watch and learn? I will provide your beverage of choice as well =)

Please? Im a nice girl, I SWEAR !!

You won't mess it up. Just use plenty of lube.

Here's a good how-to. It's a very easy process.

well, in the MD area... montgomery county...


my uncle owns a car customization shop, mostly for trucks.... but next to him is a detailing place where they will clay your car and all that good stuff...even clean your engine (this is the cheapest detailing price) for 80 bucks, its like 100 for suvs and trucks.

Im gonna take my car there in the spring

http://www.customizingconnection.com/ is my uncles website, so you can get an adress for the place which is exactally NEXT to customizing connection, in the same strip mall

xtin, I know you said you like to watch the process before you do it yourself, visit Autopia for more info and pictures about the claying process. By following the instructions you really can't screw it up. It's an unbelieveably simple process, and you'll be done in no time.
