Josh Ottmann is one of the best guys in Texas. I recommend him fully. His website is ottmanndetailing.com .

He is based out of DFW, but does have clients in Houston. If you want the job done right, then it is worth waiting for him to make the trip (IMO).

Post on www.autopia.org/forum/.

I found a great detailer for my area using that forum. If you click on the "Click & Brag" section, you can see work done by detailers from all sorts of areas.

Josh,

Sounds like my father is very happy with the work you did on the Cayman this weekend. Good luck with the Benz - you'll probably be working on scratches I put on the car attempting to detail it 20 years ago!

Glad to hear Rob, it was a pleasure as always to work on such great cars....

The MB is going to kick my butt, but it will be well worth it in the end. I'll easily be spending two days on it. I'm estimating AT LEAST 15 hours just on the paint. It'll be a good challenge.

Thanks for the good report.
I just got back from Houston an hour ago so I haven't gotten any pics loaded yet, may be a few days before I can. sorry guys.

Josh

I am really looking forward to seeing what you do on the MB. You have to take some before and after pics.

Of course, on a full correction like that I always highly document my work.

Probably won't be for another month till I get to it though.

Okay, I'll post a couple pics of the cars I worked on, but there's no before and afters as I was on a time crunch.

Here's parkerdr's porsche caymen.











And a few other cars I worked on while I was down there.
Here's an 07 Turbo
