Default Paint Correction in Oakville/Burlington

My white 87 is in dire need of paint correction, years of road grime has turned parts of the car yellowish. Long story short I took it to a local shop and when I pointed out that the car was still yellowish they took some compound to the worst part of the rockers (that part is now white, but as you can see from the pic the rest is not).

I would love to take it to Wes, but I just don't have the time to take it into the city.

Any recco's in the Oakville/Burlington area?

Has anyone had experience with this shop?

I'm also considering PCO for the diamond package as I need to get an alignment done as well.

My tennis elbow is on fire again, so doing it myself is out of the question.

Check out GTA in Detail (Kevin). He is in Mississauga, but is a great guy to deal with. You won't be disappointed.

DIY man!

Sonax & IronX fallout cleaner removes those ugly yellow stains on your white paint. Spray on and rinse off. Some staining may require some rubbing, but for the most part, just spray on and rinse off.

I can not recommend Kevin. I was very dissatisfied with his efforts on my car. However, if you're not that picky, go for it. Otherwise do a search.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm very picky especially with the old girl.

I will likely make some trips this week to talk with a few of the options then go from there.

I did buy a bottle of the Sonax fallout remover and will try that today for ****s and giggles.

Wow, that's a very generous offer. I might take you up on that if I can nurse this thing for the week.

I'm picky too and Kevin did a great job on my cars but I can't speak for others experiences.
Good luck with your search and I hope you get the "old girl" looking great!

Thanks everyone. I'm taking the car to PCO for an alignment on Monday since I now need to pull my steering column to change a $19 rubber donut, then the diamond package with Lee on Tuesday.

I will report back the results.

Nice one, I have heard many good things here on RL and at the gatherings that the PCO detailing packages are very good quality (which is unheard of from a dealer, most of the time).

If they actually do all the work they list as part of their diamond detailing package, they are certainly losing money and doing it as a loss leader to get people into the dealership / service department.

not necessarily.

a shop here in Ottawa can do full paint decon and clay bar, paint polish and ceramic coated in under 4 hours on a sedan. they have 4 or 5 guys on it. they do 3 or 4 cars a day...between $800-$1200 a pop. thats just the cleaning bay. nevermind the revenue brought it by car sales, oil spray jobs, mechanical work, etc....
