Paint Correction Savannah (new to the area)
Just had my car moved from CA to GA and it now has a TON of scratches, rock chips, and swirls.
It was pretty much perfect before but did have the swirls in the clear coat already. I really have a hard time trusting car wash places...so can anyone recommend a high end detail / paint correction shop? Also, not sure if any of you guys meet up around here or not? I need to make friends |

Hey did you ever find anyone for paint correction? I am in Savannah and haven't found anyone I trust yet either. I need to have my front bumper resprayed, then I am going to put a clear bra on it...driving back from NY over the holidays chewed up my front bumper.
There is a BMW facebook page for Savannah and the area, but not a ton of newer BMW's. I haven't hooked up with them yet, but I may one day. Also cars and coffee meets the first Saturday of the every month in the parking lot on Habersham next to 5 Spot restaurant.

I have not done any coding. I want to learn but haven't yet...I had my e90 coded but had someone do it from out of state and he "dialed" in to do it. THere are several things I want coded, but don't want to pay much for it...we need to find someone local. Keep me posted there as well. Where did you move from?

As long as I live here, I won't get anything but ceramic. Just picked up a Ford Focus ST for my wife and I am going to get ceramic tint from them as well. If you want to see the tint in person, I am sure we can arrange something so you can see it. Just let me know. Here is a pic...actually looks darker in person too. You can see my e90 in the background before I sold it.

Pro Shine did NOT paint correct my car...
Basically a wax job that made the scratches less visible but they are all still there. I wouldnt spend my money there or ever bring my car back. Going to save and buy the tools to do it myself one day in the future. |

Sweet! The three of us should meet up some weekend to grab a coffee or something. Main interest is coding my auto to the "sport auto" setting. Would love to get some paddles installed as well and get those working but would need to source / install them first of course. What do you have coded on your F30? |
