    Professional Detailer Cumming, Ga?

    I've been a member here for a while, total amatuer only detailing my own vehicles. I just traded my '10 Porsche Cayman and '03 Ram 1500 in on a new '14 Ram 1500 4x4 Black Out Edition. For the very first detail I'd like to find a local professional to get her set up right, and possibly apply a paint sealant as well. I'm hoping there is someone on here that I can use, as I have come to trust the advice I get on here, and I would like to give something back to this community, at least in a small way.

    So what do you think of paint sealant on a new 4x4? Would it help prevent light scratches from off-roading? Would it help she'd mud, dirt, and grime after mudding? . She is too pretty to go mudding and get scratched, at least until I get something in place to protect it. I think I may be more anal about this truck than I was with the Porsche....

    Any other tips for protecting brand new paint? Any tips on a first detail if I do it myself?




    Thank You!

    Mike

    I am loving Opti-Coat, but thinking I might go the rejex route until spring. Put my youngest in private school last week, which is why I traded in my other two vehicles (much lower payment, and they needed service, tires, etc). I ran across Zaino, but dang, with all the products you have to buy Opti-Coat is actually cheaper!

    Make a thread. "Detailer need ATL". You will get more views.
    The OP of the thread that I posted is roughly 40 miles from you.


    So what do you think of paint sealant on a new 4x4? 2. Well it would be a sacrificial barrier...but the hell it will have to endure off road...lol
    Would it help prevent light scratches from off-roading?

    3.Would it help she'd mud, dirt, and grime after mudding? .
    It would help for sure, no bout adoubt it.

    She is too pretty to go mudding and get scratched, at least until I get something in place to protect it. I think I may be more anal about this truck than I was with the Porsche....

    Any other tips for protecting brand new paint? Any tips on a first detail if I do it myself?




    Thank You!

    You're welcome. Aggressive beauty you got there.
    I was raised in the south. 4WD/mudding are synonymous.

    Come to think of it, my brother and my cousin thought that they were the original "Duke Boys"...lol...chasing them Daisy's.

    Happy detailing...

    Thanks for the link.
