I used to be a professional detailer for several years. I still do some jobs on the side. I worked at Quality Auto Detailing in N.Versailles. Rich DeCenzo, the owner, does incredible work. ---

Anybody able to do paint touch ups, painless dent removal and stuff like that? I’ve got a Grand Prix I’m going to be selling soon and it has some paint issues and a few pretty good dings/dents. Other than being slightly ugly on the outside, it has just about everything else rebuilt or replaced and I’d like to get a good price for it. Sorry for jacking the thread… e-mail me direct at: [merkurboy@hotmail.com](mailto:merkurboy@hotmail.com) ---
