As a locally-owned body-shop for ~60yrs, the shop I work for simply doesn't trust auto-detailing and specialized cleaning services to just anyone for our customers' vehicles. Unlike the car-wash detail shops, these guys have the experience, knowledge and special skills to tackle the most complicated "detail" issues you may face. They are like their name says, "First Class"...

This guy works wonders on your car! I am VERY particular about my paint but it kinda got away from me (plus its black). After spending a full day with it my Z06 looked phenomenal!

Norman Wayne Lesikar is a LIFETIME SEX OFFENDER pursuant to the Texas Department of Safety due to his possession of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The SEX OFFENDER IS ALSO A LIAR. Initially I was impressed after he told me about "all the Porsches he works on," yet in two years I have only seen mine and the photos section on his site only shows work vans, no high end vehicles. Another concern is that I do not believe he provided me genuine receipts for work performed by third parties. The "receipts" don't contain the vendors telephone numbers or address. Norman recommended that I remove the factory stripes on my Porsche Design Edition 1 (black car with matte black stripes). Upon his advice I agreed and we decided that we would make the decision on whether to replace the stripes at a later date. Later when I went to inspect the work, I was horrified to find a quarter size chunk of paint missing from the top of my bumper right next to the hood. Norman NEVER told me that this was a possibility. He said it was because a rock or something damaged the paint under the stripe. If this is true, it certainly didn't appear so as the stripe on top of the alleged damaged paint was not damaged. I asked to see the stripe above the damaged paint but of course Norman threw it away. If I knew this type of paint damage was a possibility, I NEVER would have agreed to removing the stripes. I have since looked into the issue and read that if too much heat is applied (if using that method) or too fast a speed on the drill with the stripe remover (if using that method) damage can be caused to the paint. The stripes were not perfect but they were at least an 8 or 9 out of a 10. The only reason I agreed to having the striping removed was because I was having substantial custom work done and I figured now would be the time to make the entire car a 10 again. Next issue, despite having the car for about 6 months, NO further work was done despite being paid for in advance. We agreed on the scope of work and he had been fully paid (BIG mistake on my part - he told me that he was previously a Federal Marshal (ANOTHER LIE) and I believed him and therefore trusted him). He has no business or personal bank accounts and he wouldn't provide his last name once we got into the dispute. He didn't remove the rest of the stripes (he assured me that there was no risk of any more paint being damaged), didn't install my Rennline pedals and lost them ($220 - no reimbursement), and didn't have my front bumper damage from his stripe removal repaired. Norman then told me it would be an additional 30 days before he could finish my car. It took 8 weeks to paint a bumper, install a radiator, finish removing the stripes and give the car his "detail." Norman didn't get a quote for fixing the bumper damage he caused and expected me to pay 100%. I would have paid 50% no questions asked to avoid conflict. However, if I didn't pay 100%, Norman would stop work on my car which was not drivable. Norman held me hostage. He has had my old seats (worth $1,700) for over a year and gave me excuse after excuse as to why he couldn't give them to me. Upon threat of a lawsuit the SEX OFFENDER offered to pay me a $1,200 cashiers check the following week. True to form, the next week when my car was FINALLY back in drivable form so I could get it the hell away from that place, his tune changed, no cashiers check and he was no longer responsible for the seats despite the fact that he had possession of them since he removed them from my car. He even previously told me that the wrapped them in plastic for safekeeping so they would not get dusty.
