I follow you guys on Facebook and I have to say you do amazing work; a real attention to detail. Do you have any recommendations for a shop in the San Francisco Bay Area that does what you guys do? I have some horrendous spider-web scratches that I'd like to get rid of. What kind of questions should I be asking to make sure I'm getting someone of the same caliber as you?
