Whats a good place in the Chicago area for buffing

My compulsive disorder is kicking in and I wanted to get a couple spots buffed. Any decent places around Chicago that people have went to?

I use an amazing guy.....Detailed by Bill...but he only works in the NW suburbs. His 'real' job is in Rolling Meadows and he lives in Harvard and he limits his detailing to those areas. He comes to you. He's doing both of my cars tomorrow, so he'll be in Palatine for about 8-9 hours. His prices are very reasonable too. He's done my cars for about 7 years now.

My only connection to him is 'satisfied customer'.

The Last Detail, a paint and body shop in North Chicago, is the place to go. The shop does fantastic work and it is worth it to go there just to see the collection of vintage racing cars. I was last there a few years ago and he had a McLaren M8 (or was it an M6?), a Cobra 289 Comp, Surtees F5000, a Lola T-70 Coupe, and some others. The stuff dreams are made of.

What do you think he would charge to get the crap off my side panels? I'm 15 minutes away from McHenry.

It's not so much that you only live once, it's more that you're dead for so very long afterwards.

The cats demanded their tuna at about 6AM.

Besides, this is late for me. My alarm goes off at 12:30AM during the week.

I took my elise to wicker hand car wash a couple weeks ago and got a basic detail. They clay barred and buffed out all the surface swirls and a few little scratches. I was really happy with the service and would recommend them. It's a couple blocks west of damen on division.
