after winter is over, is it worth it to get a polish and wax on a new car to recondition the clear coat.

can anyone vouch for a shop that does 3m protectant?

if so, is it best to get rock chips in the paint repaired before hand?


crap my bad, can you move this to the car care thingy. i didnt see it.

Shadow tint does a good job on eeveeryhign but sometimes they a little slow, they told us a tint job would be 30 mins to an hour, well 3 hours later we had the car back

the guy that hyatt infiniti uses is awesome(sorry can't remember his company name, I am sure the detail department over there can help you out)...rather than a roll on sheet like pretty much everywhere else in town uses he has a thing that cuts out application specific pieces that actually go with the lines of the car...talk to shawn connors over there, he's the detail manager, and he will be able to set you up...
and yes, get the rock chips looking as good as you possibly can before you get it put on, otherwise the rock chips will still be clearly visible under the 3m...

I believe everywhere else uses the same type of application pre laser cut pieces for the hood, bumper, fenders, side mirrors..unless you want special aplications where they don't make precut ones for your car.
