Looking for cheap body detailing

I posted some time ago about my car needing some good old TLC. Well since then I tried Mothers 3 step and it’s not aggressive enough for some of the stains. So now I’m looking for any recommendations for someone who can do half decent job (cheap too already spent $80 on products) bring my paint back to a condition where I can just maintain it i.e. wax it. The cars not that bad, has some spots from leaves sitting on and that kind of stuff. Any way if any one can suggest some places/person where I might get a good deal that would be great!

All I can recommend you is to try the Griot's line with the Porter Cable, if you're willing to pull out the cash. I know detailer shops will charge you a lot, dealers alone, charge over $200 just to detail your car.

if u have let things like leaves and bird **** and tree sap sit on your car for long periods of time they may gotten through any wax or clear coat on your car and contaminated your paint job...it might need a littlemore than mothers three step to fix it up to what u are expecting

The Meguiar's three step I bought didn't come with a clay bar, you have to buy that separately.
