In NYC and in need of some help

Hey all!

Here's my situation. I have an 03 cl type s abp. It needs about 700 dollars worth of detailing and paint correction but I don't want to spend that much obviously. I would try it make but dont want to put down all that cash and be almost at the price of a professional without te professional quality. I deploy in about 5 to six weeks so I can't really learn in that time so im wondering if any of you hobby guys are on long island or in the area that can help me out for less than 700 bucks lol.

I'm open to all suggestions!

Can you wait until you get back from deployment? If so, you can always learn then.

Just give it a good wash for now and/or before you leave.

Why would you want to give it a good professional detail to have it just sit there for X amount of time until you get back?

I wanted it to be good for honda day, not trying to look like a bum! And I would rather get it cleaned up and waxed and protected and then leave.

considering the current deal on a orbital buffer shipped the cost of meg 105/205 polish and some pads, invest in a little research in how to you may be able to fix if for less then 300... just a thought and worth it as a last ditch effort.
