Austin - Clear Bra (or equivalent) and great detailer?

[HeadOn]

Looking for any recommendations on someone to clear bra my new M3 (dealer has someone, but I do not know who it is).

Also, would like a recommendation for a detailer that can do the kind of clay/wax/etc. that I should know about, but I am not that informed about (I have been reading the posts here though).

Any advise for a some good local talent in Austin would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I've seen Suntint's clear bra work and it's good, better than the place I used, which I won't name. Sun Tint is also less expensive, and I believe they are using Venture Shield. They also install clear window tint, really effective stuff for Texas I've been told.
The detailer I used just moved out of town, if you find someone you can recommend please post it up.

I don’t think sun tint uses venture and if they are it is because a certain company used it first. Don’t get me wrong I am sure they do a good tint job…there name says it all …Sun Tint. They know nothing about a vehicles body. They are posting all over the Internet things about a certain company to put them out of business and they will do anything to get them out. The company they are trying to put out of business uses venture and he was the first here in Austin with the clear auto bra. From my experience with some tint shops is that they are a little shady. Just be careful and do your homework before you commit. The company they are talking about does great work and is an expert when it comes to a vehicles body.

Do you mind PM'ing me with the shop you think might do a good job (referred to above)?

Thanks.

FYI -Another poster on an M5 board (who has about a half dozen incredible cars) recommended Sun Tint.

I've heard mixed reviews about Sun Tint. most seem to be good experiences but one friend of mine had his lotus done there and said the job was so terrible he had to have it redone at a different shop.

I also received a quote from a guy in San Antonio who will come to Austin but uses precut pieces ( not custom ) and he quoted only $695 for the bumper and hood and front side panels. He uses 3m for lighter colors and Venture for darker. Haven't been able to find any good info on him though.

I'll keep researching and will repost if/when I do find some solid referrals.
