Phil,

Can you recommend someone for a full detail + wrap in Chicago? I have a red C63 that I need prepped for winter. Btw, what's your method of claying? Do you spray a full panel with lube and then clay or do piece by piece until its all done? (takes sooooo long!!!)

Cool, I'll check it out. Could you tell me how you clay though, or is it a secret of the trade?
